— April is PRIDE Spring Cleanup Month in southern and eastern Kentucky. If Pulaski County and its five cities participate, they can receive up to $37,300 from PRIDE to pay for roadside cleanups and beautification projects. April also is Redbud Month, and they can get free redbuds to plant.
“PRIDE is recruiting an army of volunteers to clean our region’s scenic landscape, and we’re asking local governments to lead the charge in their communities,” said Karen Engle, PRIDE President and Chief Executive Officer.
Each city and county’s funding level is based on its number of road miles. Pulaski County is eligible for $30,800 in PRIDE Spring Cleanup funds. Somerset can receive up to $2,700. Burnside, Eubank, Ferguson and Science Hill are eligible for $950 each.
Spring Cleanup funds are available to all local governments in PRIDE’s 38-county service area. To qualify for its available funding, the local government must send representatives to training workshops and comply with funding guidelines.
