North Vernon residents to tackle beautification efforts

An effort to clean up medians in Indianapolis has inspired a Jennings County resident to clean up areas of North Vernon. Tyler Stock is a realtor…

Stock says that he wants to extend the program to North Vernon. Under the proposal, 17 areas of the city, mainly flower beds, will be offered up to those interested in keeping the area maintained…

The city will spend approximately $1,700 for signs to be placed at each site, recognizing those responsible for the areas’ upkeep. City Councilman Jack Kelley also noted that there would be an additional expense of mulch, as he would like all of the flower beds to have a uniform look.

The city council voiced their support for the program during its meeting on Monday night.
