A recently formed Community Pride Committee in Branson will plant flowers at the intersection of U.S. 65 and Missouri 76.
The flowers will be planted by volunteers on the intersection’s islands, which have been covered by gravel for several years. The flowers will be maintained by volunteers with assistance from the Branson Public Works Department.
According to a press release from the city, the unattractiveness of the intersections led local businesswoman Judy Hartley of Mountain Man Nut and Fruit Company to address the Board of Aldermen last summer about creating a committee to improve the intersection and others around the city to make them more attractive to visitors. The board appointed the Community Pride Committee with Hartley serving as chairwoman.
The committee is also working to install “Welcome to Branson” signs at the outskirts of the city.
The committee is working closely with the Missouri Department of Transportation on both projects.
The next meeting of the committee will be 1:30 p.m. Feb. 24 at the public works offices in the Pacific Street Water Tower. The meeting is open to the public.
