MAYOR BIETER ANNOUNCES<\/strong><\/p>\n

NEIGHBORHOOD REINVESTMENT GRANT RECIPIENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Mayor David Bieter today joined with Boise neighborhood associations at the Borah Community Garden to announce the 2011 recipients of the City of Boise Neighborhood Reinvestment Grants program. This year Boise awarded $382,345 for 12 capital projects, plus an additional $13,898 for 9 \u201cmini-grant\u201d projects, for a total benefit to neighborhoods of$396,373.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Neighborhood Reinvestment Grant program is wonderful for neighborhoods because it allows their residents to decide from themselves what projects they want to undertake to improve and beautify their areas,\u201d Mayor Bieter said. \u201cThis program not only makes Boise more livable, it puts the control in the hands of the neighborhoods where it belongs.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The capital project grants are intended to fund physical improvements within neighborhoods that will enrich the lives of citizens, enhance the identity and quality of life and encourage a strong sense of community. This is the second year of the city\u2019s mini-grant program, which provides neighborhood associations funding for non-capital projects under $2,000.<\/p>\n
