The initiative provides two tiers of funding \u2014 up to $10,000 for smaller efforts and up to $25,000 for larger community projects.<\/p>\n<p>Eligible uses include public art, beautification, signage, park upgrades, and more \u2014 all designed to boost neighborhood pride, connectivity, and engagement. The grants are intentionally flexible so communities can address the specific needs that matter most to them.<\/p>\n<p>A total of $300,000 in federal funding has been set aside for the three-year program. If it proves successful, city leaders say the initiative could become permanent. The deadline to apply is October 3.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on how to apply, visit the city\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new city grant program is offering neighborhood associations the chance to bring local improvement projects to life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":39635,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15206],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39634","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-upstate-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.koolfm.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39634","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.koolfm.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.koolfm.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.koolfm.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.koolfm.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39634"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.koolfm.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39634\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.koolfm.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39635"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.koolfm.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39634"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.koolfm.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39634"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.koolfm.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39634"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
