HISTORY
The Keep Hutto Beautiful Commission was originally formed in 2007 to “assist the City Council in establishing a Citywide policy for decreasing the amount of loose refuse in the City, enhancing and preserving the City's natural beauty, and encouraging the use of landscaping and the improvement of deteriorating features.” In 2012 the Keep Hutto Beautiful Foundation was formed with the intention of becoming the non-profit, standalone organization that the Keep Hutto Beautiful Commission could transform into. In November 2016, Keep Hutto Beautiful became a separate entity from the City.
The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization registered with the State of Texas.
