PPG Completes Colorful Communities Project in Germany
PPG has completed a Colorful Communities® project in Klingenberg am Main, Germany, that involved revitalizing an underpass leading to Klingenberg’s middle school, and renovating the school yard. The project brought together more than 90 PPG volunteers, who spent three days – and a total of 1,900 hours – beautifying the underpass and the school yard at the Dr. Konrad Middle school. PPG says this project benefits more than 100 students at the school, as well as members of the public who use the underpass.
PPG provided funding of $57,500 (€54,500) for the project, including more than 64 gallons (290 liters) of its Sigma Coatings™ house paint and Sigma Coatings Indurin paint. Volunteers painted the walls and the floor of the underpass with an underwater world mural, designed in cooperation with a local artists’ group. They also painted concrete blocks in the school yard for students to sit on, using colors from PPG’s The Voice of Color® palette.
