The City of Schertz has been awarded Platinum status under the Texas’ Scenic City program.  Scenic Texas was inspired by the visionary leadership of Texas former first lady Lady Bird Johnson. She began the scenic movement during her husband’s presidency and was instrumental in the Highway Beautification Act creation and passage. The First Lady’s vision was to make America the Beautiful a reality. The mission of the Scenic City Certification Program is to support and recognize Texas municipalities that implement high-quality scenic standards for public spaces. The Scenic City Certification Program provides a proven, highly-regarded tool to Texas cities for assessment, evaluation, and recognition of infrastructure standards.
