KNB Receives Governor’s Circle Award
Keep Newnan Beautiful (KNB) has been honored with a 2025 Governor’s Circle Award for its outstanding achievements in community beautification and environmental sustainability. The Keep Georgia Beautiful Foundation (KGBF) presented the award in recognition of KNB’s exemplary performance in litter reduction, waste minimization, and community greening initiatives throughout Coweta County.
To qualify for the Governor’s Circle Award, affiliates are required to effect meaningful, positive, and lasting change by
directly addressing community needs in litter prevention, recycling, waste reduction, and beautification —
standards that Keep Newnan Beautiful continues to exceed.
Mayor Shepherd shared, “The Governor’s Circle Award is a well-deserved tribute to the hard work of Page
Beckwith and the entire Keep Newnan Beautiful team,” said Mayor James Shepherd. “Year after year, this program proves that when our community comes together with a shared purpose, the results are transformative. We are grateful for their dedication to a cleaner, more sustainable Newnan.”
This prestigious recognition highlights Keep Newnan Beautiful’s continued commitment to improving the local
environment through hands-on programs, public education, and strong community partnerships. Led by Page
Beckwith, over the past year KNB has engaged residents, schools, businesses, and volunteers in impactful
efforts, including community litter cleanups, recycling events, environmental education programs for students, and
beautification projects that enhance public spaces across Newnan.
“Across Georgia, we’re focused on creating clean, green, and beautiful communities for everyone to enjoy,”
said Natalie Johnston-Russell, Executive Director of the Keep Georgia Beautiful Foundation. “This year’s award
recipients exemplify what’s possible when passion meets action, and we’re proud to recognize their outstanding
contributions.”
