ADOPT A HIGHWAY
A ROTARY COMMUNITY PROJECT
Rotary Area of Focus: Water and Sanitation
Background/History of Project:
The Chatham Rotary Club sponsored a stretch of Rt. 57 for 10+ years. Eventually, VDOT took it over, so as a club, we decided to continue cleanup of local roads in our vicinity.
Project Overview:
Twice a year, spring and fall, members collect trash and debris along our designated adopted roadway, Anderson Mill Rd, Chatham VA. As we strive to give back to our community, these kinds of hands-on projects show our willingness to get involved in the upkeep and promotion of our local assets, making it safer for wildlife, and more attractive for our community.. We also invite community members and volunteers to participate with us.
Collaboration and Funding
Club Funded
Impact Statement:
“This program is a key strategy in maintaining a positive travel experience for residents and visitors, and in preventing litter from entering local waterways.” (VDOT)
