Adopt-A-Highway Campaign
Adopt-A-Highway Campaign a Success!
The Adopt A Highway Program for the Stearns County Highway Department began in 1990.
One of the most important objectives and reasons for having this program is the Public Relations it creates between Stearns County and its citizens.
The program gives the people involved a chance to see just how much work is involved for the County in maintaining the county ditches, and how people have abused these ditches in the past by littering.
The groups involved in the program get publicity as well, by having their names put on an informational sign that lets the traveling public know who is maintaining the road ditch in that area. Our segments are generally a two-mile stretch.
We do not save money in maintenance by having this program, but everyone involved gains education and it is great for public relations.
