Ald. Coggs announces winners of 6th District Landscape Awards

With the official end of summer occurring four days earlier and colder weather beginning to take a toll on Wisconsin summer flower gardens, Alderwoman Milele A. Coggs announced the winners of the 6th District Landscape Awards at a town hall meeting on September 25. The winners include the Birchfield family at 2629 N. 4th St.; the Ray family at 3520 N. 25th St.; and the “We Got This Garden” at the corner of N. 9th and W. Ring streets. Honorable mentions include residents Min. Yon Blackwell, Barbara Janczak and Josephine Jones. The landscape award is a part of Alderwoman Coggs’ broader Clean City Project. “The efforts of these hard-working residents make this a more appealing place to live and I truly believe, provide a boost to everyone’s quality of life,” Alderwoman Coggs said.
