KEEP IOWA BEAUTIFUL DEXTER PROJECT

This summer the City of Dexter will be encouraging its community members participate in the beautification of Dexter's buildings. Community members interested in active participation as a board member or as volunteer in the project are encouraged contact City Hall.  The City of Dexter will be receiving the necessary paint from the Paint Iowa Beautiful program this summer. This project will be a community project in the truest sense. Any community member  interested in receiving paint from Paint Iowa Beautiful for their home will be assisted by local community members in the application to their home. In return they are asked to put their time and efforts towards the painting of other community members homes. If for some reason such as medical or physical you are unable to participate in the actual painting of a home, donations of refreshments or other needed necessities would be much appreciated. Keeping up the appearance of our building and facilities is an important component of viable communities. Well-maintained and painted building reflect pride in our communities. Through a partnership with Diamond Vogel Paint, Iowa groups can receive paint for community enhancement projects. More than 3,000 gallons of paint have been donated to community groups through the Paint Iowa Beautiful program.
