Republic Services representatives were on hand at the Levelland Chamber of Commerce office to present a $5,000 check to the “Keep Levelland Beautiful Committee” of the Levelland Chamber of Commerce and Main Street Program. Funds donated will be used to begin implementation of the proven “Keep Texas Beautiful” program into the Levelland community.
Recently, Levelland Chamber staff attended classes to begin steps in making Levelland a Keep Texas Beautiful affiliate which requires training, developing and determining the group’s organizational structure, preparation of a mission statement best suited for the community, development of bylaws, organization guidelines, fact finding about the community and its image pertaining to cleanliness, development of projects goals and timelines, develop budget and funding sources and partnerships with other community organizations. During the training Republic Services agreed to assist in community pride and clean up efforts with donation and in kind partnerships including a seat on the committee for Keep Levelland Beautiful.
