Did you know Downtown Tempe Community has a Clean Team in Mill Avenue District? Well we do, and things have never looked better!

 

This new program, officially called CleaniT, launched over six months ago and the mission is to keep Mill Avenue District clean and inviting while providing friendly customer service to assist those who visit the area.

 

The Clean Team provides services such as general cleaning, power washing, graffiti removal, addressing maintenance issues, providing directions, and answering questions, to name a few. Team members can be seen on the street during business hours and they are happy to help. Just look for the red shirts with Mill Avenue District logo, the electric vehicle, and the bright yellow clean carts. It's great to know they are out there taking care of our Mill Avenue District!
