This is such an awesome program the city offers, and I have personally taken advantage of it and encourage anyone else who wants to improve where they live! Through the Community Development Department and the Neighborhood Resource Office, the City of Greeley offers residents a unique opportunity to apply for a variety of short- and long-term improvements or assistance. The goal of the program is to enhance safety and well-being by both upgrading and improving common areas and public spaces to make the neighborhood more attractive. This helps property values, desirability and overall enjoyment! Fostering a sense of community, pride and investment, it also helps owners feel a sense of belonging.
According to the City’s website,
“Every neighborhood is eligible to apply for Neighborhood Improvement Grant assistance.
The city reserves $10,000 for projects under the neighborhood grant program. Funds are limited, so starting early is important.
Two categories of funds are available:
Neighborhood activity gift cards
A neighborhood can apply for one $100 gift card per calendar year to offset costs related to a neighborhood event, such as a block party, clean-up day, or tours.
Grants for permanent improvements
A neighborhood can apply for up to $2,500 to make a permanent improvement that benefits the community and the neighborhood’s common area. If your project requires funding over multiple years, contact the Neighborhood Resource Office (NRO) to arrange a meeting before submitting your application.
A neighborhood may request one grant from each category in a calendar year. Grant awards are based upon available funds, competition for funding, and location.”
The City lists the following activities and projects as examples and encourages residents to be creative! If you do not see your idea listed and think it meets the program criteria, give the city a call to see if it might be eligible.
