Covington’s Neighborhood Services Department will begin accepting applications for the city’s neighborhood grant program next week.
This will be the seventh year the program has sought applicants. Winners will be awarded up to $5,000 for projects that support the upkeep, beauty and social cohesiveness of the city’s neighborhoods.
Grants are usually doled out to neighborhood organizations and other community groups to support beautification initiatives, blight removal, community events and “other activities that build pride and cohesion among neighbors,” according to a city announcement.
“The Neighborhood Grant Program reflects Covington’s ongoing commitment to supporting efforts that make our neighborhoods stronger and more connected,” Walt Mace, assistant director of the Neighborhood Services department, said in the announcement. “These are small grants that create big community impact.”
The application window will open on Nov. 3 and close on Dec. 8 at 4 p.m. Click here to see full application instructions and information.
