Mayor Warren recently launched a new program “Keeping Newton Beautiful.” The program is intended to initiate, promote, coordinate, and implement quality beautification projects within the village/city street/open space areas, mainly through village business districts that improve the appearance of Newton for people who have invested their lives here and people visiting.
