2014 Curb Appeal Grants
The purpose of this grant program from Keep Council Bluffs Beautiful (KCBB), with underlying funding through the Iowa West Foundation, is to help improve the street appeal of homes and foster neighbor collaboration by bringing residents together to work on a common goal. The grants received by LFNA have helped fund projects involving a dozen or more homeowners, and were used to repair, improve and beautify projects visible from the street.
KCBB is now accepting grant applications and LFNA is hoping to participate once again!
