This is one of the entries into our city. And when people come in through to Odessa, through the interstate south of South Grant is what the first entrance that they see. And we like to try to make that. We want to beautify that and can have it to look as as spacious as we possibly can. “That way, when someone comes in, that’s the impression that they get is how well and how clean our city is.”

Students from Odessa High School and other ECISD schools and with the University of Texas Permian Basin as well as young church members of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church helped with the cleanup.
