The Board of County Commissioners awarded nearly $40,000 in Neighborhood Initiative Grant Program funds last week to help partially fund neighborhood-initiated improvement projects, which includes a historically oriented trolley tour narrated by residents in Amaryllis Park, and upgrades to LED light fixtures in the Arbors, to name a few. The funds were awarded to projects that focused on improving neighborhood character and environment. The program, which has helped Sarasota County neighborhoods since 2002, requires neighborhoods to match at least 50 percent of project expenses. While some neighborhoods match funds through cash and donations, others opt to garner credit through $15 per hour of volunteer labor. Projects can be proposed within one of five themes, including character, leadership, safety, environment and health.
