City of Fort Wayne news release:<\/p>\n

City gives more than $170,000 for neighborhood improvement projects<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (February 25, 2022) \u2013 The City of Fort Wayne\u2019s Neighborhood Planning and Activation Workgroup announced today that 38 neighborhood associations are being awarded grants totaling more than $170,000 to support community led projects. These projects range from new landscaping in common areas to replacing neighborhood signage.<\/p>\n

Any registered Fort Wayne neighborhood association could apply to receive up to $5,000 in reimbursable grant funds. The program, run by the City\u2019s Community Development Division, is designed to support neighborhood beautification efforts and strengthen involvement from neighbors.<\/p>\n

This year, the City received a record amount of grant applications from several neighborhood associations that had not participated previously. The Southwest Area Partnership funded nine projects in addition to those approved by the City because of the overwhelming demand to support neighborhood led projects. Those projects are included in the final list.<\/p>\n

The projects selected will enhance neighborhood aesthetics, provide a clear community benefit, be accessible to all neighborhood residents and increase civic pride. Expenses such as routine maintenance, major infrastructure projects, social events or operating expenses were not eligible for grant funds.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are continuing our efforts to maintain and develop strong neighborhoods,\u201d said Nancy Townsend, Director of Community Development. \u201cIt is clear that with the efforts made by our Neighborhood Planning and Activation group along with the support of our neighborhood associations we will be able to strengthen our neighborhoods across The City of Fort Wayne.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNeighborhoods are the backbone of Fort Wayne,\u201d said Mayor Tom Henry. \u201cIt\u2019s critical that we continue to make investments to ensure we have strong and vibrant neighborhoods. I\u2019m also encouraged by the leadership and innovation from our new Neighborhood Planning and Activation Workgroup. Their proactive efforts coming from the City of Fort Wayne\u2019s Community Development Division will make a lasting and meaningful difference.\u201d<\/p>\n
