Advisors from the America in Bloom (AIB) program will visit Struthers, June 19-20.

AIB promotes nationwide beautification through education and community involvement by encouraging the use of flowers, plants, trees and other environmental and lifestyle enhancements. 

Advisors will be evaluating the community's efforts in the areas of community vitality, floral impact, landscaped areas, urban forestry, environmental initiatives, celebrating heritage and overall impression.

According to the organization, America in Bloom communities experience better cooperation among municipal, commercial and residential sectors because everyone works toward a common goal.

In addition to receiving a detailed written evaluation from the advisors citing strengths and opportunities for improvement, participants receive a special mention for what the judges deem to be an extraordinary project or program.

Awards will be announced September 28-30, at AIB's National Symposium & Awards Celebration in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
