Beautiful Properties Earn Recognition

Slideshow of 2007 Beautification Award Winners

Some well-kept properties stand out from the rest. This year, 28 stand-out properties have earned Beautification Awards from the township's Visual Improvement Program Committee (VIP).

Winners are honored at a November reception, then receive awards at a Washington Township Trustee meeting where a public slide show features their award-winning properties. "Beautification Awards are a way to say thank you to people who work hard to make their yards pleasing to everyone," said Public Works Director Mike Wanamaker who is staff liaison to the VIP Committee. Award nominations are made by members of the community.

The township's VIP Committee selects properties based on the use of flowers and landscaping; maintenance; overall curb appearance; and how well the property stands out in the neighborhood. Winners receive a certificate with a photograph of their property and a coffee mug. During summer months, properties are identified with yard signs designating them as award winners.

The VIP Committee is a citizen committee established to help preserve and enhance natural beauty in the township. Members oversee public plantings, streetscape guidelines and other community beautification efforts.
