The Corridors Commission is currently accepting applications for the Corridors Neighborhood Match Grant program. The program's objective is to partner with neighborhood and other community-based groups to enhance the corridors leading into and out of Lexington and to increase awareness of corridor enhancements.
To be eligible for these funds, applicant groups must be either incorporated, active neighborhood/ home-owner associations or a federally recognized non-profit organization 501(c)3. Cooperation between applicant groups is encouraged. For FY 2013-2014, the entire fund is capped at $10,000, with a $10,000 match. It is anticipated there will be multiple awards for this round of funding, according to a press release.
Applications will be evaluated by a review board appointed by the Corridors Commission. Funds will be awarded by June 30 of the award year and participants will have one fiscal year to complete the projects.
Those interested in applying for the funding must apply by 5 p.m. on Friday, May 10, 2013. Instructions (including activities that are eligible and ineligible) and an application are available on the Corridors Commission website.
