LARGO FEATURED IN QUALITY CITIES MAGAZINE |
|
The Florida League of Cities' quarterly publication, Quality Cities Magazine, features two articles highlighting Largo initiatives in their most recent issue. Largo's Free Composting Bin Program is featured on pages 36-37 with a focus on the resident interest and appreciation for the program and the successful city-community partnerships for the logistic and educational components. On pages 47-48, Largo is also identified as an important deployment site for the regional Point-In-Time (PIT) count that helps our city and partners understand the current population of individuals experiencing homelessness in our community.
