With support from Fishers City Council, Mayor Scott Fadness awarded nearly $340,000 to 23 neighborhoods through the city’s Neighborhood Vibrancy Grant Program, supporting resident-led projects designed to enhance common areas and improve quality of life throughout the community.
This year’s grants funded projects include new entrance monuments, native landscaping and rain gardens, upgraded lighting and signage, safety bollards and sidewalk repairs, a public bike repair station, benches and a Little Free Library, trail-area improvements, and more.
“Neighborhoods are where residents experience Fishers every day, and these grants give residents a direct role in shaping and improving the places they call home,” said Mayor Scott Fadness. “These projects reflect the pride residents have in their neighborhoods and their commitment to investing in the broader Fishers community.
Since 2018, the Neighborhood Vibrancy Grant has funded projects ranging from deferred maintenance to beautification efforts with the 80/20 matching grant available to homeowners’ associations and neighborhood groups within Fishers. The program provides an 80% match of eligible project costs, up to $25,000, with recipients contributing the remaining project costs.
