New Rochelle Launches ‘Adopt-a-Street’
Beautification program to benefit commercial corridors
New Rochelle’s commercial streets will benefit from the added attention of local businesses and
organizations through the City’s new Adopt-a-Street program. Launched this summer, Adopt-a-Street
focuses on the beautification of corridors within and surrounding business districts. Application is open
to New Rochelle businesses, not-for-profits, civic groups and governmental entities. The program
requires a minimum of six scheduled cleanups throughout the year, including a major cleanup in the
spring. The City will provide the necessary supplies. Participants will be recognized on signage along the
adopted street section.
“By partnering with local businesses, institutions, neighborhood associations, and civic groups, we can
keep New Rochelle’s roadways looking their best,” said Mayor Noam Bramson.
Program guidelines and an application form are available on the City website
www.newrochelleny.com/adoptastreet or by calling the Bureau of Streets and Highways at (914) 2354029.
