The Greater Port Washington Business Improvement District has teamed up with Spectrum Designs Foundation to “Keep Port Clean” for the third year. Spectrum helps people with Autism lead productive and meaningful lives through the world of work. These two local non-profit organizations will team up from April through October to help battle the litter problem within the Port’s Business Improvement District.
The premise of the “Keep Port Clean” campaign is to ensure that Port Washington’s commercial corridor is vibrant and welcoming. It can’t be done alone. The Greater Port Washington Business Improvement District asks community members to say something if they see anyone littering. Businesses are asked to clean in front of their business every day. The first time the “Keep Port Clean” crew cleans in front of a business, they will leave behind a flyer to remind the business of their responsibilities. The Town of North Hempstead code states each business is responsible for cleaning in front of their business; the sidewalk & tree bed.
“Our organization is very thankful that Spectrum Designs Foundation has agreed to team up with us again to help ‘Keep Port Clean,'”Greater Port Washington Business Improvement District’s executive director Mariann Dalimonte said. “We are working as a team, ‘together everyone achieves more,’ and this is a win-win for everyone in the community and the business district.”
