Launch 6-month pilot program hiring residents to clean underserved neighborhoods
In Plain English
Public Works cannot keep up with growing litter, illegal dumping, and graffiti across Richmond's neighborhoods. The pilot program hires and trains local residents to clean streets, parks, and alleys daily. If approved, the city spends $190,600 to partner with a nonprofit for the 6-month trial.
