A new initiative will be announced this week to clean up litter in the city of Springfield, Massachusetts.
Growing amounts of litter and blight in Springfield has been a complaint of several neighborhood organizations and civic groups for years.
Borrowing a term from the residential real estate industry, Russ Seelig, of Concerned Citizens for Springfield, said right now the city has a problem with its “curb appeal.” I would give it a C-minus, I am sorry to say, Seelig said. There continue to be areas where there is a lot of litter and trash and it just detracts from the appearance of the city.
