The beautification competition is open to community groups,
businesses, public institutions and other organizations undertaking landscaping
projects that enhance the appearance of commonly owned commercial or
residential properties or County roadsides, medians or other public locations.
More than twenty years ago, concerned volunteers formed KMCB
to help develop beautification projects and anti-litter and recycling
programs. The group also conducts public
education to change resident attitudes about littering and graffiti.
Business and organization sponsors of the annual ceremony
included the Bethesda Urban Partnership, Bethesda Florist, Graffiti Abatement,
Inc., and Penn Camera, Rockville .
More information on the award winners is available in the County’s
press release.
