Thibodaux, LA—Keep Louisiana Beautiful (KLB), the state’s premier anti-litter and community improvement organization, has chosen the City of Thibodaux to receive a Beautification Grant to support our community beautification efforts. Mayor Kevin Clement announced today that Keep Louisiana Beautiful has awarded the $4,038 grant to help create and execute planting projects focused on improving the appearance of communities throughout Louisiana by creating beautiful, well-maintained public spaces. Priority planting projects include improving and beautifying entry points to cities, highway corridors and medians, downtown roadways and intersections, and other highly visible and highly used public spaces. "This grant award represents an active partnership with KLB that will help us uphold our responsibility to do the right thing for the environment and community regarding the Edwin H. Chaisson, Sr. Memorial Park beautification project. The City of Thibodaux anticipates that upgrades to this park will attract residents and visitors alike to come enjoy one of the City’s beautiful outdoor facilities," Mayor Clement said.

KLB’s Executive Director, Susan Russell, explains that the Beautification Grant is designed to provide funding for local projects and programs bringing about behavioral changes needed to improve the appearance of communities in Louisiana. “People are less likely to litter in areas that display community pride and that are well-maintained and beautiful, so reducing litter in highly visible areas is an additional key driver of this grant. KLB seeks projects that have diverse community support, volunteer involvement, collaboration with stakeholders, and benefit the community at large.”

Made possible with funding from the State of Louisiana and the Office of the Lieutenant Governor, 11 Beautification Grants totaling over $72,000 were awarded to eligible organizations, including Louisiana parishes and municipalities. Mayor Clement added. “The City of Thibodaux will use our grant for beautification at Edwin H. Chaisson, Sr. Memorial Park, located at 1000 Jackson Street, Thibodaux, LA 70301. The City of Thibodaux anticipates that beautifying this area with new signage, a garden, and trees will in turn make it more inviting to the community."
