City of Brook Park

Beautification and Pride Committee

Mission Statement

¨      The Mission of the Beautification and Pride Committee is to encourage and lead in beautifying the homes, businesses and public properties and to promote and acknowledge the public display of pride of being part of Brook Park.

In December 2007, Brook Park City Council passed a resolution formally recognizing the creation of the Beautification and Pride Committee, comprised of Brook Park citizens, business representatives and City Administration.  The Mission of the Beautification and Pride (B&P) Committee is to encourage and lead in beautifying the homes, businesses and public properties and to promote and acknowledge the public display of pride of being part of Brook Park.  The Committee hopes to meet this Mission through the sponsorship and promotion of various activities, including community clean-ups, beautification projects and public display of community pride.

In 2008, the B&P Committee will implement a program recognizing residences that put in the effort to maintain and improve their properties.  (For more details on the Beautification and Pride Awards Program, see the next page.)

If you are interested in being participating or sponsoring the City of Brook Park Beautification and Pride Committee, please free to attend our monthly meetings – held the 2^nd Wednesday of every month at the Brook Park Recreation Center – or contact Jeffrey Duke – Committee Coordinator at jeffrey_duke@yahoo.com or 216-362-7174.
