The City of Bastrop is one of only 14 cities in Texas to achieve the Scenic City certification.
Scenic Texas is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation and enhancement of our state’s visual environment. “Becoming a Scenic City is the result of local government’s smart decisions regarding the development, re-development and growth of its community.”   says Anne Culver, executive vice president of Scenic Texas. Cities applying for Scenic City certification were judged on a wide range of scenic elements such as parks and trails, litter and graffiti control, and development code requirements for building design, tree protection, landscaping, street lighting, signs, utility lines, and parkland dedication.
