Town of Arcadia Receives Keep Louisiana Beautiful Grant

Keep Louisiana Beautiful has recognized the Town of Arcadia’s efforts to re-establish and promote a sense of community pride by sponsoring monthly pick-up litter campaigns and hosting a variety of events in the downtown area to showcase the highlights of our small town which has many buildings dating back to the turn of the 20th century. Mayor O’Landis Millican announced that Keep Louisiana Beautiful has awarded the town a $5,000 grant to help install welcoming signage surrounded by beautiful and exotic plants native to Louisiana at 3 main entry points to the town as well as around the Bienville Depot Museum. Mayor Millican stated he is elated that the town’s application was selected and is looking forward to an ongoing partnership with KLB.
