Governor's Community Achievement Awards

The Governor's Community Achievement Awards are presented each year to an array of Texas communities with the best grassroots environmental programs in the state.  The efforts of these communities to involve citizens, businesses, schools, local government and youth to keep their city, county or region beautiful has earned 10 of them a share of $2 million in landscaping monies from Texas Department of Transportation. These prizes are designated for landscaping projects along local state rights-of-way.
