Mayor Goodwin Announces City-Wide Clean Up

Mayor Amy Shuler Goodwin announced the Spring 2022 Team Up to Clean Up city-wide cleanup—a partnership between the City of Charleston and the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection Rehabilitation Environmental Action Plan’s Make It Shine Program. Local businesses, organizations and city representatives will join members of the community to clean and beautify neighborhoods throughout Charleston.

“When I became Mayor, this was priority for me.  That is why we started the Team Up to Clean Up events.  We are excited to, again, roll up our sleeves and get to work, alongside our community members and business owners,” said Mayor Amy Shuler Goodwin. “These clean up events are a great way for folks to help tidy up a street or a neighborhood—further supporting tourism and the local economy, creating greater awareness of the importance of protecting our environment, and strengthening our sense of community.”
