Paving the way to going green

After more than nine months of planning, meeting and organizing, Jefferson City residents had the opportunity Thursday afternoon to see the fruits of their labors with the Greening America's Capitals project.

Greening America's Capitals is a joint program between several federal agencies that works with state capitals to improve different areas surrounding the capital in an effort to clean up and recycle lands, access and improve waterways, provide greater housing and transportation choices and reduce infrastructure energy costs.

The Jefferson City project focused on the Millbottom area.
