Every night, someone cleans the roads at Mirabella.

The Manatee County neighborhood is still under construction, but dozens of homeowners have already moved in. About 55 homes are still to be sold in the 160-home community, which caters to the 55 and up demographic.

The roads are kept clean for the homeowners and potential buyers. It's an active construction site, but Mirabella developer Marshall Gobuty wants it to look as tidy as possible, which also means keeping the areas around Dumpsters free of debris and making small paint touchups on the exterior of homes.
