Boost your curb appeal with grant

Planning an exterior project visible from the sidewalk? Grants are available for homeowners, renters, and residential property owners in the four Nokomis East neighborhoods of Keewaydin, Minnehaha, Morris Park, and Wenonah.
Examples of eligible exterior improvements may include but are not limited to painting and trim work, exterior lighting, masonry work, and tuck-pointing, restoration of historically appropriate exterior finishes, and hardscaping.
Eligible participants can apply for up to $500 in matching grant funds. This is a one-to-one matching grant and a reimbursement project. This is a first-come, first-served program. Visit NENA’s website at nokomiseast.org/curb-appeal-matching-grants/
