OVERVIEW
The City of Arlington supports neighborhood improvement projects that beautify and enhance public spaces or build social capacity in neighborhoods . Your neighborhood project is eligible if it :
• Serves a public purpose / bene�it
• Builds neighborhood cooperation and involves a signi�icant number of neighbors
• Promotes the Champion Great Neighborhoods City Council priority
• Has a detailed budget re�lecting accurate project costs and match sources
• Has a detailed and achievable timeline including a plan for long-term maintenance
• Meets applicable codes and has identi�ied necessary permits
This grant is a matching grant , which means that your neighbors must make an investment in your neighborhood . The match requirement can be met with cash , in-kind donations or services , and / or volunteer hours . Additionally , the neighborhood will act as the General Contractor for most approved projects , not the City of Arlington ( although all necessary permits are required ).
