Lorton, Va. –– Residents of Fairfax and Prince William counties will work together for the first time to clean up one of the region’s busiest highways.
It’s called the “Fairfax and Prince William Connecting Counties to Clean Up Route 1 Corridor” event, and it’ll take place beginning at 9 a.m. April 30 at various spots along the U.S. 1 corridor.
“Not only do we want to clean up Route 1, but we also want to highlight that there is a lot of trash along the road and it needs to be cleaned up consistently,” said Kayne Karnbach, with Prince William Clean Community Council. “It’s important to note that civic groups for a long time have worked to clean the area, but this is the first time we have come together and worked as a team.”
Members of the Mount Vernon – Lee Chamber of Commerce, those from Ft. Belvoir and Quantico, as well as the Woodbridge Potomac Communities Civic Association will all work in their respective teams to clean the roadway.
Churches have also been recruited into the effort, and many have all agreed to help clean in some portions between Ft. Belvoir south to Triangle, said Karnbach.
Those interested in volunteering to participate may call 571-285-3772 for more information.
