Additional Information
Mr. Richard Thackray, our lead volunteer director for Cushing Pride, accepted a new custom neighborhood Adopt-a-Block street sign. The Adopt-a-Block program is just one new offering by Cushing Pride and the signs will be used to identify areas that are being cared for by various churches or other organizations.
Under the leadership of Mr. Brent Youngman, our Street Services Director, the sign was created by team member Ricky Johnson. "Having this type of talent on our team allows us to keep projects like this, among others, in-house which in turn yields a significant cost savings for the people of Cushing," Youngman said.
Mr. Thackray was presented the sign this afternoon by members of our Street Services team in a neighborhood so he could see how the sign will look when posted.

The City of Cushing, Grand River Dam Authority (GRDA) and the American Public Power Association (APPA) teamed up to beautify City Hall and the transfer station by adding seven (7) mature Red Bud trees. GRDA was awarded a “Tree Power” grant from APPA to purchase the trees on behalf of the City of Cushing. The City was selected by GRDA due to the community’s effort to help clean up our community through the Cushing Pride initiative. GRDA sells power to the City along with sixteen other municipalities. Trees are good for the environment, provide shade, wind breaks, beauty and they enhance our quality of life. The tree planting ceremony included GRDA employees, City Commission and City employees along with some of our local high school students involved with Cushing Pride. This is just another example of improving our city. Come join us in the next Cushing Pride event and be a part of building community together.
