Gloucester City: Clean-Up Volunteers Receive Praise

Gloucester City Mayor and Council would like to thank all of the people who participated in the semi-annual Clean-Up Day October 24-25.

Almost 300 people from 30 different groups picked up 250 bags of trash, tires, clothing, etc. from Market Street, Collings Avenue, Broadway, Gloucester City High School, Martin’s Lake, Miller’s Pond, the railroad tracks, parks, playgrounds and the ball fields.

These individuals and groups worked hard, and should be commended for their volunteerism and community spirit, Gloucester City officials said.

The number of groups and individuals are too numerous to mention, and their dedication to this community is appreciated.

\”As a highlight, we would like to thank the Highland Park Neighborhood Association for enlisting a large group of neighbors to clean-up their area through-out the year,\” Mayor William James said.

\”We would also like to thank the various City departments, committees and employees who participated in this event. Gloucester City continues to move forward, and we say thank you for another job well done,\” James said.
