The Garden Court Community Association is offering grants of up to $700 for sidewalk repairs, tree pruning and planting and a variety of other block improvements. The grants require a dollar-for-dollar matching by the block in labor, in-kind services or cash. The grants are available for blocks within the Garden Court neighborhood – 45th Street to 52nd Street and Locust Street to Cedar Avenue.

Possible improvements include:

• Professional tree pruning

• Planting new street trees

• Sidewalk repairs

• Development of lawns between the curb and sidewalk

Applications require at least two people on the same block living in different households. At least one applicant must be a member of the community association. Grant applications are due Feb. 1 and the grants will be announced March 1. Grant applications are available here.
