Great Gloucester Teens

Cape Ann Chamber Great Gloucester Kids

From The Chamber of Commerce-

You may have noticed that downtown Gloucester streets are a bit cleaner and that a number of flower beds in the area are sporting fewer weeds and a fresh layer of bark mulch. These improvements are thanks to a great bunch of young men and women whose summer job is to make Downtown Gloucester shine.

The workers have been hired through the Cape Ann YMCA with Community Development Block Grant funding. The program is an initiative of the Downtown Improvement Committee, a group comprised of City of Gloucester officials, downtown businesspeople and the Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce and charged with bettering the district.

Throughout the summer the young workers will be cleaning, weeding, and watering the hanging flower baskets that the Downtown Improvement Committee recently had installed. They are making a valuable contribution in helping downtown present itself well to visitors and residents alike this season. When you see them working, say hello and thanks!
