Keep Texas Beautiful (KTB) has recognized Keep Bolivar Beautiful as runner up in the 2020 Governor’s Community Achievement Awards (GCAA) for outstanding community improvement. Keep Texas Beautiful, in partnership with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), has awarded the GCAA to Texas communities for more than 50 years. This year, the 10 winning communities will share $2 million in landscape funding from TxDOT for one or more landscaping projects along TxDOT roadways.
KBB was runner up to South Padre Island in its category and was followed by Surfside.
The award is one of the most coveted, annual environmental and community improvement honors in Texas. A community’s environmental program is judged by a group of diverse, multi-sector judges on achievements in seven environmental and community improvement areas: public awareness and outreach; environmental education; beautification and community improvement; litter prevention and cleanup; solid waste management; litter law; and illegal dumping enforcement.
