South Bethany

Community Enhancement Committee (CEC)

The CEC’s focus is on ideas, tasks and initiatives that will not only enhance the community as a whole, but also help increase individual homeowners’ property value and make South Bethany an even better place to live or visit – own or rent. The Committee works on initiatives that promote community enhancement and volunteerism such as the Adopt-A-Canal/Road End Program; Route 1 Median and Walkway improvement; York Beach Mall landscaping; the Ocean Drive Blueprint; and the development of community education flyers designed to help engage South Bethany homeowners in improving their properties and surroundings. CEC membership is open to South Bethany homeowners interested in making a difference!
