        Mission Statement

The Mission statement of the Clayton Beautification Committee, CBC is to implement an action oriented plan that would ultimately aid in the attraction of economic development to our area, in all aspects.

Vision Statement

The Vision Statement of CBC, is to see Clayton grow and prosper in a clean and beautiful environment. We would like to assist Clayton in getting its community pride back. Cleanliness and Beautification need to be added to the long list of assets that already exist in Clayton.

Most importantly, CBC is about helping one another and assisting those in need with their own beautification projects.

The Car Crushing Project is still underway in Clayton. People are taking their old cards and old scrap metal to the Worley Mills Building site.

City-wide Clean Up

The second city-wide cleanup was held on May 19, 2001. The group concentrated on the truck by-pass and picked up approximately 50 bags of trash along that road. This cleanup was held in conjunction with the statewide "Great American Cleanup" which was sponsored by the New Mexico Clean & Beautiful organization. They provided the tee-shirts and trash bags for this annual event.

Letters to Absent Homeowners and Building Owners:

One of Clayton�s problems is that some people who own property in Clayton, but do not live in Clayton, seem to let their properly deteriorate to a point that the property becomes an eyesore and a danger.

The CBC has sent letters along with a picture to theses owners requesting them to cleanup, repair, or consider selling or renting these properties.

A three-step letter process has been implemented, with the third letter stating that the City will send out ordinances.
