Paint The Town

Orangeville is sponsoring “Paint the Town.” This program is for Orangeville citizens to help in their home maintenance. The city is encouraging citizens to clean up their yards and homes. If your home is in need of a new paint job, you can go to the city office and pick up the information you will need, go to Jones Ace Hardware and receive $6 off each gallon of outside house paint. Jones Ace Hardware is offering $3 off per gallon of paint and Orangeville City is matching that amount for a total of $6 off per gallon of paint. The city is limited on available funds for the program, so it will be on a first come, first served basis until funds are exhausted. Pick up your Paint the Town certificate at City Hall. Help make Orangeville a “Pretty Little Place” to live, work and play.
