Funding Information
The City will award up to $2,000 for eligible projects. This is a 50% matching grant. Therefore, if the applicant’s total project cost is $4,000, the City will reimburse the HOA or Non-HOA $2,000. If the project cost is $2,000, then the City will reimburse the HOA $1,000. The applicant/group will need to provide three (3) quotes for each project.
The City will reimburse the applicant for the work that is completed based on the actual project costs. Reimbursement will be based on proof of purchase for materials and/or paid invoices from a vendor. If the actual project costs exceed the amount listed on the application, the applicant must pay the difference. If the actual project cost is less than the amount listed on the application, the City will only reimburse for half of the actual costs incurred, up to $2,000.
