Neighborhood Grants – Suggestions Requested
by Randee King on Sep.27, 2021, under Association News
The City of Baytown has a grant program to improve neighborhoods. Last year 3 grant proposals were submitted: Beautification of entrances into Lakewood with flowering plants and trees (Lakewood Garden Club), a Back to School party with school supplies (Lakewood Neighborhood Watch), and a 2nd Lakewood sign with flower bed at Lakewood Drive and Bayway Drive (Lakewood Civic Association). Suggestions for a Dog Park as well as a Park for teens and adults were also sent in but those two suggestions were deemed too expensive by the City. However we were very fortunate and excited to have received grant money for the 2nd Lakewood sign and we now have a beautiful sign thanks to the City with volunteer help from the Sea Scouts, Civic Association and neighbors.
The City is again offering grants and we are willing to turn in grant applications although other groups are welcome to apply for a grant too. Please send us suggestions on what you would like to see to help enhance Lakewood. More info on these grants can be found at: https://www.baytownengage.com/grants
