April 15, 2020 – Decatur will participate in America in Bloom, but not in 2020.
The Beautify Decatur Coalition and the City of Decatur hoped that 2020 might be the year for Decatur to win America in Bloom. But with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coalition has decided to wait until 2021.
The Coalition said in a brief statement “With help from community members, we can use this year to identify a few projects that will improve our score in 2021.”
In 2018, Decatur received a 7-star rating out of a possible 10 stars and was recognized for its landscaped areas and profile submission. Additionally, Decatur brought home Best Use of Social Media special award and the YouTube Video award.
