For the third year, the Liberty City Council has funded the Neighborhood Enhancement Grant Program to help residents reinvest in their own neighborhoods. This matching program allows residents to identify their own priorities for their neighborhood and to undertake the enhancement project together. Grant awards could range from $500 to $5000, depending on the scope of the project, the number of grant proposals received, and the funding available. The City Council has
set aside $5,000 in the 2013 budget for this program.
Neighborhoods must provide a 25 percent match to the cost of the project, which could be
met through the value of donated services, materials, and labor in addition to cash.
