A âsustainable communitiesâ partnership between local cities and Fort Hood will be extended by three years today when local mayors sign a new memorandum of agreement, according to a news release.
Killeen, Harker Heights, Copperas Cove, Nolanville, Belton, Salado, Gatesville and Lampasas have been part of the Cen-Tex Sustainable Community Partnership with Fort Hood.
The partnership, formed in 2009, focuses on achieving measurable environmental benefits.
One of the big programs the partnership has developed is the Youth Environmental Ambassadors Program, said Christine Luciano, Fort Hoodâs environmental outreach coordinator.
âWe try to promote stewardship (and) volunteerism through hands-on initiatives that range from beautification to conservation, recycling and litter prevention,â Luciano said.
