Details:
Proposed projects can be oriented toward the beautification of a subdivision entrance, including construction of flower beds, planting trees, retention pond rehabilitation, graffiti cleanup, adding / modifying entrance signs, constructing / repairing fencing or sidewalks, or other such related improvements. Reoccurring or non-permanent items such as mulch or annuals are not eligible, as well as any other maintenance items.
Projects can also be enhancement-oriented to assist in accomplishing community goals such as the establishment of a neighborhood crime watch area.
Grants can be used to fund a wide range of projects, from entrance landscaping and greenspace preservation to creating community spaces within residential areas. Community engagement initiatives, like community gardens, playgrounds, and communal gathering hubs, are also eligible for funding.
With the adoption of the 2024 City budget, the grant’s allocation has seen a significant jump from $100k in previous years to $750k for 2024. The City of Fishers will now also fund 80% of the project cost up to $25,000, requiring participants to contribute just 20% of the total. This marks a substantial shift from the previous 50/50 split of funding.
