riod of Establishment (POE). At the end of the POE, the site<br />
is turned over to the volunteer Beautification Sponsor Group<br />
which maintains the site for a 3-year minimum with an option<br />
to renew. Since this is a pilot project, only Engineering Districts<br />
1-0, 2-0, 9-0, 10-0, 11-0, and 12-0 are participating. Approval is<br />
being sought to expand this pilot project to the remaining Engineering<br />
Districts.<br />
Highway beautification not only enhances communities, it<br />
helps improve the quality of life for residents by attracting new<br />
investments and businesses. Academic studies show that beautified<br />
highways reduce stress, frustration, and aggression.<br />
