East Williamsburg seeks project ideas before grant deadline

Lighting, greenery and better public spaces are among the priorities under discussion.

Community members and organizations have until November 4 to propose capital improvements for a $20 million neighborhood grant.

The Downtown Revitalization Initiative supports physical projects, rather than recurring expenses such as salaries or routine maintenance. Applicants need a sponsor, site control and a defined budget; the project form is on the program's Call for Projects page.

Better lighting, small parks and improved seating are among the possibilities local leaders are weighing. Those ideas are proposals, not a list of awarded projects.
