Help Beautify Your Community! We know you take pride in our community, but have you ever wondered how you can help show that pride? If you answered “Yes!”, then help improve your community by volunteering with the Kirksville Beautification Committee! We’re actively looking for residents willing to give a small amount of their time to make a big impact! This group of dedicated community volunteers was formed within the past year because it takes the City, its community organizations, and its citizens — working together — to make our community the best it can be. Thus far, the Committee has successfully completed a litter and debris cleanup of Baltimore Street / Business U.S. Highway 63 through the middle of our city, but we need your help to expand our efforts and make a bigger difference! For more information on how to get involved, contact Economic and Community Development at 660.627.1224.
