Great way to start the new year. The Cleanest City is keeping things clean with the help of the Keep Hammond Beautiful Committee. Please report this opportunity for the community to help keep Hammond beautiful all four quarters of 2009.

HAMMOND---The City of Hammond will initiate debris pick up for small limbs and branches which fell during last week's winter ice storm.

Mayor Mayson Foster said the city will use its own crews to begin the process of cleaning city streets, ditches, and laterals of debris that may have accumulated during the storm.

Keep Hammond Beautiful received a check for $1000 from Neill Corp for Keep Hammond Beautiful Day on September 27, 2008, in Zemurray Park.

Keep Hammond Beautiful members presented Neill Corp with a Framed Certificate and a Keep Hammond Beautiful brochure.
