TEXARKANA (KSLA) - What would Texarkana look like if it was litter free? The Chamber of Commerce and leaders with both sides of the twin cities have begun working to get an answer to that question.
“GO TXK CLEAN AND GREEN,” an anti-litter campaign in Texarkana is now up and running. Members of the group met on Wednesday, May 19, to begin considering ways to rid the cities of litter.
Texarkana anti-litter campaign underway
A spokesperson for the Chamber said this campaign is more than a community pride initiative, it encourages economic development and prosperity for the region.
Anti- Litter Campaign Announced to Kick off Earth Day Multiple organizations have joined forces in, and around, Texarkana to establish an anti-litter campaign for the region.
The group has had one preliminary meeting and plans to bring a larger group together in May. The vision of the campaign is to, “Make Texarkana clean, neat, green and pretty.”
Organizations involved are the Texarkana USA Regional Chamber of Commerce, and both Cities of Texarkana, Texas and Texarkana, Arkansas. The next meeting will be in May. Anyone interested in attending and contributing to the effort can reach Natalie Haywood at nhaywood@texarkana.org by May 1. Groups interested in the project may be schools, religious organizations, retail businesses, restaurants, media, neighborhood organizations, businesses, and industry, etc.
