Attleboro Could Get Free Paint Job

Vote early and vote often. No, that's not a recommendation for how you should approach the upcoming U.S. Senate election, but rather this is what you should do if you want to see a portion of Attleboro receive a free makeover courtesy of national paint company Benjamin Moore.

Attleboro is one of 100 American cities eligible for the prize in Benjamin Moore's "Main Street Matters" contest. Twenty cities will be chosen, with the winners determined by online voting.

"Benjamin Moore will not only provide the paint and supplies needed for façades, porches, railings, shutters and other exterior building trims, but its color experts will consult on the best choices to enhance the architectural style, regional influences and historic references in each community," a company press release states. "Skilled professional painters, many of them members of the Painting and Decorating Contractors of America, will be hired, putting another segment of local business to work along with the local Benjamin Moore retailer who will be mixing the paints that are used."

Residents and other Attleborophiles can choose this city by voting at www.paintwhatmatters.com. People can vote once a day through June 30.

"Our Main Streets are the vital hubs of our communities—and Benjamin Moore and our network of independent dealers have always been integral parts of Main Street," said David Melançon, chief marketing officer of Benjamin Moore, in a press release. "This investment we're making in communities around North America is core to our business and to who we are; Main Streets make us who we are and we're proud to honor that with this effort."
