Abbeville Advances in Cleanest City Contest

As a result of all the hard work and attention to detail the City of Abbeville is pleased to announce we achieved the required score of above 90% necessary to advance to the State competition in the 2023 Louisiana Garden Club Federation’s Annual Cleanest City Contest, Category G. District judges toured the City on Wednesday, March 22. As a result of the District win we will compete in the State Cleanest City Contest in early May.

The Mayor and Council are extremely proud and grateful for the partnerships between the city workers, Keep Abbeville Beautiful, Abbeville Garden Club along with the many volunteers who worked so hard to achieve this recognition, in addition to the community support by our residents and businesses who played a part in cleaning up their spaces.

The guidelines for the contest require a certain route to view we are appreciative of the efforts to clean and beautify our city in other areas. The recent “Abbeville Community Cleanup Day ” organized by The Math Depot, Vermilion Reach, Christian Service Center, Keep Abbeville Beautiful , Levy Foundation, and the City of Abbeville resulted in tons of litter picked up.

When competing for the state title the judges will be looking at entryways, businesses, schools, churches and residential areas we are confident everyone will come together again and we will be successful in winning the State title. If anyone would like to volunteer to help with cleanup the first week of May please contact me at 337-652-2239, Charlene Beckett.
