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. Communities are judged based on their population size, which is derived from population estimates from the Texas State Data Center.
The efforts of these communities to involve citizens, businesses, schools, local government and youth to keep their city, county or region beautiful will earn 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.
The 2011 GCAA application is now available -- the deadline for all entries is 5:00 p.m. February 8, 2011. If you're interested in finding out just what it takes to win a Governor's Community Achievement Award, consider attending one of our awards training sessions, available throughout the state. Check out our calendar for times and dates!
A full list of 2010 winners is available under 'related items,' as well as a list of communities who scored 90 points or higher. Click here to learn more about the GCAA program and see how winning communities have spent their prize money!
