Hamden - Hamden has been chosen as one of this year's recipient of the Pepsi Supports Surrounding Towns Award.
As a result, the Farmington Canal Linear Trail will be the site of a clean-up on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Applications for the award were judged based on municipal demographics and quality of project

submissions. Members of Pepsico's Stratford work force will be joining together with Hamden

residents and elected officials to cover a graffitied fence visible along the Mather Street portion of the canal line. 
“Corporate partnerships and volunteerism are key to the Town's strategy for maintaining a clean

community,” said Jackson. “I thank them for their generous support.”

All are welcome to come join in at 11am in the rear parking lot of Home Depot, located at 1873 Dixwell Avenue. Painting supplies will be provided and Pepsi has generously agreed to provide food and beverages following the event.

For further information, please contact Julie E. Smith in the Mayor's Office at (203) 287-7103 or
