Do you want $1500 to make something in your neighborhood better? If you haven’t yet, connect with your neighborhood association! They may already have an idea that they are moving forward that you can get involved in. But you might be surprised that your idea is it. If there isn’t a proposal being considered, here are some ideas to get those creative juices flowing:
- Places for Comfort, Connection, and Rest – Benches
- Meet Your Neighbors – Host a Porchfest (like they do in Memphis here)
- Placemaking – Tactical Urbanism Pop-Up (this is a hefty resource, but the table of contents on page 8-9 can help take you to a specific type of project to explore)
- Road Safety – Crash Analysis Studio (If this is something you’re interested in and would like some support, contact Our Little Rock. We are an affiliate of Strong Towns and have gone through the training, can talk through the process and have a pre-drafted proposal.)
Here’s more on the Love Your Block grant guidelines and a blank application.
