The City continues to invest in neighborhoods throughout The American Dream City, with the Arlington City Council approving nearly $145,000 in new Neighborhood Matching Grants for seven projects across the city.
The Neighborhood Matching Grant program was developed in 2007 to foster civic pride, enhance neighborhoods and encourage collaboration between residents and City government. The program aligns with the City Council priority to Champion Great Neighborhoods.
For a project to be considered, it must be submitted by neighbors, serve a public purpose, have a detailed timeline and meet all City codes. Each neighborhood must also contribute 20% grant match towards the project through cash, in-kind donations and/or volunteer hours.
The projects selected to receive funding in 2023 include:
- Homeowners Association of River Legacy Estates, Inc. - $18,900 for entryway, lighting and beautification project
- Wildwood Estates Owners Association - $14,470 for sidewalk installation and mulch replenish
- Bay Club Homeowners Association – $22,150 for Bay Club beautification project
- Glenbury Court Association - $7,690 for Glenbury Court entrance improvements
- River Bend - $20,500 for neighborhood signage project
