The city’s Keep Port St. Lucie Beautiful committee is proud to announce the winner of the first Neighborhood Beautification contest. Tim and Ann Luecke, 2237 S.E. Powell Court, were proclaimed the overall winner from among almost 20 contest participants. 

The KPSLB Neighborhood Beautification Award is a non-monetary recognition bestowed on the property owner who demonstrates above-average efforts in maintaining their property and contributing to the overall appearance of the community at large.

Mr. and Mrs. Luecke will receive an official "KPSLB Neighborhood Beautification Award" sign, to be displayed on their property for three months, and their property will be displayed on the KPSLB Web site and on PSL-TV20. Mr. and Mrs. Luecke will be formally recognized for their efforts by the Keep Port St. Lucie Beautiful committee, and they have won a 2010 annual pass to the soon-to-be opened Botanical Gardens, including free admittance to the Gardens’ grand-opening party.

• Mr. and Mrs. Luecke for outstanding color
• D.H. and B.L. Kroeber, 1698 S.E. Floresta Drive for most well-manicured
