NYC program offers grant money to block associations

While we're on the topic of block associations, I thought I'd pass along this info about the Citizens Committee for New York's "Love Your Block" grant program. If you're involved in one of the several block associations in the nabe, check it out:

Awardees will receive a $500 cash grant along with expedited support from city agencies for block improvements such as cleaning up a vacant lot, replacing worn out litter baskets, removing graffiti and replacing worn out street signs. The application can be download here [pdf]. The deadline for applications is November 30, 2009. For more information, please contact Scott Codey at 212-822-9563 or scodey@citizensnyc.org or Alicia Rouault at 212-822-9558 or arouault@citizensnyc.org.
