| The City of Fairfield is always looking to change and
improve the city infrastructure and living environment.
The Fairfield Beautification Commission/Committee was set up to
determine special projects that could be undertaken in the coming months
and years. In association with other established groups and volunteers,
the group is working to improve enforcement of existing municipal
ordinances and find special ways to encourage residents and businesses
to improve their properties to make them more attractive.
FPAC9 has taped a program featuring four leaders of the community
to discuss ways in which Fairfield can grow and improve.

| Part of the Fairfield plan to make the downtown area
look more appealing has been to purchase and stock large planters and
place them around the square.
Shown below are Carol Young and Nancy Horras replanting Evergreens
for the fall and winter months. This is a project of the Fairfield
Beautification Commission.

| The Fairfield Tree Enhancement Committee and
the Fairfield Beautification Commission/Committee have worked
together to propose and implement several projects to improve
the Fairfield area.
In October 2003 two projects were undertaken:
On West Burlington/HWY 34, in association with Alliant
Utilities, a total of 33 trees and shubs are being installed by
Oakwood Nursery of Fairfield. The responsibility for the
future maintenance will be with the local organizations.
The area covered is for the area between the sidewalk and
the north fencing at the Alliant facility.

At the Fairfield Middle School back area in October 2003,
students, parents, and other helpers planted a number of trees
back behind where the softball fields are located. Other
mature trees were relocated to make way for expansion of the
athletic fields. Future generations fo students will enjoy
these efforts in the years to come as the trees grow and
flourish under the watchful eyes of students and staff. |

On Monday December 15, 2003 two members of the
Beautification Commission reported to the Fairfield City Council
that all of the major goals set for 2003 had been met so far,
and plans were being developed for continuing to beautify
Fairfield. More flower pots are being purchased, thanks to
a grant from the Greater Jefferson County Foundation.
