Residents in the Kass Circle community plan a cleanup on May 30 from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.

Volunteers may sign in at People Helping People located, 1396 Kass Circle in Spring Hill. Gloves, and trash bags and water will be provided. Republic Services has donated a dumpster and waived disposal fees for the cleanup project. Contact Doug Brainard at 352-442-1156 for more information about the cleanup.

Volunteers collected more than one ton of trash during last year's cleanup event.

The Kass Circle neighborhood was the first mixed residential multi-family neighborhood and business district laid out in the original Spring Hill master plan. Over the years, concerns about safety and vacant buildings in the area have increased.

Last year, residents and business owners worked with county staff and the University of South Florida Center for Community Design and Research to create a new vision for transforming the area into a safe, walkable community with a sustainable business district.

Funding for the project was made available through a grant from the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity.
