Two grants have been awarded for trees and neighborhood watch signs, but there are still funds available to help residents reinvest in their neighborhoods!
This matching program allows residents to identify priorities for their neighborhood and to undertake the enhancement project together. Grant awards could range from $500 to $7,000, depending on the scope of the project and the number of grant proposals received.
To be eligible for a grant, the project must be a permanent neighborhood improvement that benefits the entire neighborhood and must be located in the City’s right-of-way. Examples of eligible projects include: landscaping, planting street trees, installing signage for a subdivision or neighborhood watch, etc. Selected projects must be completed by December 31, 2021.
Grant awards are competitive and selected by the Preservation and Development Commission, who consider feasibility, need, and potential impact to the neighborhood and community when selecting grantees.
