Mayor's Message

Mayor Becky Ames
One of the first things I did after becoming mayor in May of 2007
was work with the City Council to reinstitute the Keep Beaumont
Beautiful Commission. Since that time, the Commission has
established a number of partnerships, promoted beautification
through a variety of projects, and worked with the city to develop
and implement the citywide
Beautification Plan.
Since then, several local and state groups have joined the
commission in its efforts to improve our city, including the Chamber
of Commerce’s Beautification Committee, the McFaddin-Ward House,
Beautify Beaumont, Inc., the Magnolia Garden Club, the Southeast
Texas Regional Planning Commission, and many others, all with the
same goal in mind: Beautifying Beaumont!
As a result of the vision and work of the Commission and all of
these organizations, results are apparent around our great city.
Planting projects, neighborhood clean-ups, a new
311 system for code
violation reporting, and anti-litter campaigns all are helping to
make Beaumont a better place to live.
We hope this Web site will be a great resource for anyone who wants
to help us reach that goal, with information on our progress and
tools and information to help you stay involved. Please check back regularly to find out
how you can help Keep Beaumont Beautiful!
