MISSION
The Columbia-Savin Hill Civic Association Beautification Committee, formed in 2002 by residents concerned about the appearance of our neighborhood, works to establish and maintain various beautification programs, and handle issues related to the maintenance of a clean, safe, and attractive community. The Committee works to organize social and educational programs specifically geared to improving our neighborhood. Our focus is also targeted at working with residents and business owners to encourage site cleanliness, lawn maintenance, upkeep, and property improvements.
