ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) - District 6 in Dougherty County is about to get a spring cleaning. Next Saturday, the county is partnering with Keep Albany-Dougherty Beautiful in the effort.
This is a first-time trash roundup for this district, but Commissioner Anthony Jones hopes to make it an annual event.
“We’re going to furnish the bags, we’re going to furnish the pickup sticks. We’re going to furnish everything that you need to clean up for spring,” Jones said.
ALBANY â For the second year in a row, Georgia-Pacific Lumber contributed $50,000 to Albany organizations. Georgia-Pacific delivered $10,000 checks to the Dougherty County School Systemâs Commodore Conyers College and Career Academy (4C Academy), Keep Albany-Dougherty Beautiful, Habitat for Humanity, the Dougherty County School System, and the city of Albanyâs Fire Department this week.
The 4C Academy will use the contribution to enhance its robotics and metatronics pathways, while the Dougherty County School System has committed to allocate much of the money it received to REACH. The REACH Georgia Scholarship Program supports low-income students to help them prepare for college and then navigate the college process.
