The Clean Community Coordinator is the program manager for execution of these funds. . When the Clean Community Commission was re-established by city council resolution in 1997, program funding became available in large part due to the non- competitive grant source provided by DEQ. . The funds received from the DEQ allows Portsmouth to upgrade and maintain quality neighborhoods, and to encourage esthetic enhancements of major neighborhood entrance ways.
