Barge Design Solutions takes pride in keeping community clean through Adopt-A-Spot program
Published on January 30, 2025
If you, your business or organization have considered joining Green Team’s Adopt-A-Spot program, now could be the perfect time.
Just let Barge Design Solutions, which last year adopted a large area in and around Lowe Mill, tell you about their experience.
“We highly recommend Adopt-a-Spot,” the company said. “The program is well-organized, making it easy for offices to get involved. The group’s efficiency and coordination, even beyond Adopt-a-Spot, have been evident from the start.”
It’s a source of pride for Barge, an engineering consulting firm with a location in Huntsville and throughout the southeast as well as the Midwest. Their adopted area is essentially a large square with Governors Drive the northern boundary, Bob Wallace Avenue the southern boundary, Triana Boulevard to the west and Huntsville Spring Branch to the east.
“When we applied, that was the closest spot to our office, making it convenient and, as a bonus, included Lowe Mill,” the company said.
The company values community involvement at its 22 locations nationwide.
“At Barge, we believe in making a meaningful impact,” the company said. “Each office is encouraged and empowered to volunteer in our communities. It’s not just about leaving the community better than we found it—it’s also an opportunity to spend time outdoors, strengthen team connections, and build camaraderie among coworkers. This initiative reflects our commitment to both our communities and fostering strong relationships within our teams.”
Not only has the community benefited from the cleanups Barge has conducted, but it’s also popular with employees.
“It’s been a very positive and enjoyable effort for our office and has quickly become a favorite among our community activities,” the company said. “Our team finds satisfaction in the work and always enjoys sharing stories afterward about the unique and unexpected items discovered during our efforts.”
