The first day will be Saturday , May 15 , and volunteers should meet at the gazebo on the court square at 9 a . m . Our Town Coshocton also adopted Main Street as part of the city administration ’ s Adopt a Street program . Besides cleaning the specified block , several volunteers will sweep and gather trash along both sides of Main Street .
“ There has been a renewed emphasis on keeping our city clean from the administration , and OTC is committed to this effort . In the spirit of keeping Coshocton beautiful , we would also encourage community members interested in adopting their own street to reach out to Jeff Corder at the city hall ,” said Lanny Spaulding , OTC executive director .
“ Whether it be a new business opening or restoration project , it is safe to say Main Street is very much alive . While we could not be more pleased with the current excitement generated around our downtown , we cannot take our eye off the ball in making our city as inviting and beautiful as we possibly can .”
The dates for the One Block at a Time clean-ups are May 15 , June 19 , July 10 , Aug . 21 , Sept . 18 and Oct . 9 .
Our Town Coshocton is always looking for new volunteers . Anyone interested can sign up on the OTC Facebook page or can email Spaulding at otc . execdirector @ gmail . com .
