🌟 Exciting news for our community! 🌟
We’re proud to share that Mesquite has been named the Category 9 winner of the 2026 Governor’s Community Achievement Award (GCAA)! 🏆🌿
Presented by Texas Department of Transportation and Keep Texas Beautiful, the GCAA recognizes Texas communities for outstanding leadership in beautification, litter prevention, environmental stewardship, and community improvement.
This achievement reflects the dedication of our volunteers, residents, staff, and community partners who work year-round to keep Mesquite clean, green, and beautiful. As part of the award, our community will receive funding for a landscaping project along a state-maintained right-of-way to help further enhance our community. 🌸🌳
Thank you to everyone who helped make this recognition possible — and thank you to and for supporting communities across Texas! 💚
