COLUMBUS, Ga. (WRBL) — A local non-profit focused on keeping the Chattahoochee Valley clean and green was recognized with an award.
Keep Columbus Beautiful received the “2023 Governor’s Circle Award” for its achievement in community beautification and environmental sustainability.
To qualify for this award, the chosen organization must be certified and in good standing with Keep America Beautiful — a national nonprofit overseeing both state and local programming.
The Keep Georgia Beautiful Foundation presented the award to Keep Columbus Beautiful Executive Director Lisa Thomas-Cutts to recognize outstanding performance with litter reduction, waste minimization, and community greening.
