Neighborhood Cleanup Grant - go to the website for more information and an application!
A Neighborhood Cleanup is an effective way to work together as a neighborhood in order to instill pride in your property as well as your community.
Annually the HAND Department sponsors Neighborhood Cleanups for neighborhoods in a competitive application process. Neighborhood Associations that have demonstrated through their applications the need and ability to conduct a successful clean-up are awarded a HAND sponsored Neighborhood Cleanup. A key factor is having enough volunteers and good communication within the neighborhood to make the event successful.
The neighborhood organizes the event and provides all the volunteers; HAND provides much needed dumpsters, Hazmat, chipper service, tire disposal, document shredding and safety vests.
Proposal due in the HAND office Monday, March 7, 2011 by 4:00 p.m.
