The Corridors Commission is opening the Neighborhood Enhancement Match Grant Program on Sept. 1, accepting applications through Oct. 1, 2022. The grant program, designed to enhance Fayette County’s corridors by partnering with neighborhoods and other community-based groups, has $20,000 available.
There are 31 eligible corridors and grant proposals must be for areas that abut a corridor or is on a corridor. Applications should include activities that are open to the public and benefit the whole corridor. Consider the following activities for your grant proposal:
- physical improvements for public or community property;
- activities to plan, promote, or finance voluntary clean-ups and neighborhood improvement efforts;
- activities to enhance the beauty of corridors by the removal of dead or diseased trees.
“For a long time the Corridors Commission has worked tirelessly on initiatives to beautify Lexington’s roadways. I strongly believe these grant opportunities help to empower our neighborhoods to join us in this effort!” said Councilman James Brown, chair of the commission.
The program is a 2:1 matching grant, which means for every $1 requested, the applicant must provide an additional $0.50 match.
