Philadelphia To Honor Those Who Beautify The City

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - The City of Philadelphia wants to recognize those who spend their time beautifying their neighborhoods and they want you to nominate them.

Keep Philadelphia Beautiful is asking the public to nominate those in their community who are making a difference, those unsung heroes who think nothing of picking up a shovel, broom, or trash bags and doing what needs to be done. 

"What we want to do is focus on those who are doing that job; it's a thankless job, it's a constant job and we want to make sure that they know we are watching them and we do appreciate what they're doing." said Phoebe Coles with Keep Philadelphia Beautiful.

The deadline for nominations is March 21st. The winners will be recognized at a special ceremony on April 1st.
