RE: City Council Letter of Support for the Fort Bragg Art and Recycle Beautification Project Grant The City of Fort Bragg is pleased to support the Fort Bragg Art and Recycle Beautification Project application for Cycle 2 of the Clean California Local Grant Program.
The Coastal Trail, Central Business District, and school areas need suitable waste receptacles that include a recycling option. This project would not only cut down littering by providing opportunities to dispose of trash responsibly, it would also increase recycling opportunities throughout the Fort Bragg Area with eye-catching multi-use bins.
This grant also provides a unique opportunity for students in the Fort Bragg School District to beautify their community by contributing the customized project art. Each mixed-use receptacle will be made from durable materials and will be painted or wrapped with one of the local student art pieces as a way to emphasize the Arts as a means to innovate, educate, and connect people with their natural surroundings.
I strongly urge you to consider the City of Fort Bragg’s application for these funds. The beauty of Fort Bragg is one of its greatest attributes and instituting strategies like connecting art and environmental preservation further support Fort Bragg’s ongoing community revitalization efforts. We greatly appreciate the time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Bernie Norvell Jason Godeke
