The Neighborhood Improvement Grant Program launches March 1, offering neighbors mini grants to help spruce up their neighborhoods. The City of Greeley’s Neighborhood Resource Office invites neighborhoods, blocks and homeowner associations to submit applications.
Program Overview
Community members can use the funding to improve and beautify their neighborhoods. All project ideas are welcome. New greenery, signage or a neighborhoodwide clean-up day all qualify.
“By giving residents the tools to lead local clean-ups and lasting improvements, the Neighborhood Improvement Grant Program helps keep Greeley cleaner, safer and more beautiful, one block at a time,” says Neighborhood Resource Office Planner Betsy Kellums.
Key Dates
Grant applications open March 1 and must be submitted by April 15.
Grant Information: Two Options Available
Gift cards: $100 gift cards are available for neighborhood activities. Approved activities include a clean-up day or block party.
Permanent area improvements: Neighborhoods can apply for improvement grants of up to $2,500. Permanent improvements include landscaping, signs, community green spaces, lighting, safety projects and more.
How to Apply
To apply, visit the Community Development online application portal, eTRAKiT. Select “Permits,” then “Apply/New Permit.” Log in to an existing account or create a new, free account, then complete the application.
Important Reminders
A point of contact will be designated as the neighborhood contact. This individual should complete and submit the application.
