Volunteers for Kleenwood 2005 Show the Results of their Labor

Residents of Kingwood enjoy the well-planned villages and commercial areas, as well as the beautiful greenbelts and  parks.  However, maintaining that beauty takes effort on the part of everyone.

In an effort to preserve the beauty and livability of Kingwood, in 2004 the Kingwood Chamber of Commerce started the annual Travis McCormick Kleenwood Day.   The event was named for Travis McCormick, who was the head of the Kingwood Service Association for many years and was committed to preserving the natural beauty of Kingwood.
