Brookfield offers awards to residents for beautifying their homes

BROOKFIELD — Township officials and social groups want to see property owners here rewarded for bringing out at the aesthetic beauty in their homes and businesses.

Trustees have established a “Township Betterment and Beautification Committee” that will be responsible for selecting those pieces of property with the most desirable appearance.

The five-member committee will be comprised of one person from each of these five organizations — The Optimist Club, Rotary Club, Brookfield Woman’s Club, Brookfield Historical Society and The Brookfield Senior Citizens Club.

Trustee Gary Lees said trustees have been looking at different avenues of cleaning up the township and decided that awarding those already taking the initiative would be a good step.
