The City of Fishers will provide nearly $68,000 in funding for matching grants to Fishers neighborhoods this year. The grants were once separated into the Neighborhood Matching Grant and the Tree Matching Grant, but have now been combined and renamed the Vibrant Neighborhoods Matching Grant (VNMG).
According to the city, the intent of the VNMG program is to provide money for older neighborhoods, typically 10 years or older. Projects funded include beautification of a subdivision entrance or property along city roadways.
Over $78,000 total was requested by 22 neighborhoods throughout Fishers. A committee reviewed all requests and submitted its recommendations to the Board of Public Works and Safety, which voted to approve the committee’s work at its Monday meeting. The funds had been approved by the City Council as part of the 2020 budget.
