SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (SGF Neighborhood News) —
Residents of some of Springfield’s oldest neighborhoods will soon have the opportunity to get reimbursed up to $2,500 for sprucing up the outside of their homes – the only catch is that they have to work together to do it.
At a Sept. 13 ribbon cutting and open house at its new offices at 1409 W. Sunshine, new nonprofit Restore SGF announced its first program to encourage reinvestment and improve neighborhood conditions: a block grant program where neighbors work in teams to create a chain reaction of improvements.
Homeowners in Woodland Heights, Grant Beach, Doling Park east of Robberson Avenue, Fassnight and Meador Park east of National Avenue, can apply to participate in Restore SGF’s Block Challenge Grant Program, which reimburses neighbors up to $2,500 to fix exterior maintenance issues, get a fresh paint job, add curb appeal or make other exterior improvements.
