Carbondale Chamber of Commerce recently issued the following announcement.
The house at 804 West Cherry has undergone a transformation since Darren Ackerman moved in, and now he has a Bright Spot Award to show for it. Neighbors reported to Keep Carbondale Beautiful: “It’s a gorgeous place. He’s done so much work on it” and “I love that house!” The siding is back to the original wood and painted a deep teal. The sculpture in the front garden was salvaged by Ackerman from a neighbor’s dying bush. He has a similar approach at garden store sale bins: “I just bring home what I like. I move things around constantly.”
The KCB Board selects businesses or residences to receive the Bright Spot Award for enhancing the beauty of our community by means of revitalization of property, new construction, plantings and beautification, upkeep and maintenance, or rehabilitation.
If you would like to nominate a business or residence to receive the Award, please call the Keep Carbondale Beautiful office at 525-5525 or email BrightSpotAward@gmail.com. Archives of some past Bright Spot Award winners may be found at keepcb.org.
