Volunteers will be out to spring clean Pendleton County’s highways. The Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) announced that Adopt-a-Highway Spring Clean Week is March 17-23.

“The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet appreciates the efforts of our Adopt-a-Highway volunteers who help keep our highways and communities beautiful and litter free,” Transportation Secretary Mike Hancock said.

Nearly 750 groups participate in Kentucky’s Adopt-a-Highway program, which was established in 1988. Volunteers clean approximately 5,100 miles of roadside annually, setting an example of responsible environmental stewardship.

Adopt-A-Highway groups in Pendleton County are: Black Diamond Estates, Karen Davis Homemakers Club, Knoxville Christian Church, 4-H Crossroads Club, Morgan Christian Church, Knoxville Baptist Church, Tarhe Sports and Learning Center and Unity Baptist Church Youth Group.
