There will be money this year to support the arts, neighborhood development and to promote cultural tourism in New Haven. 560 Ella T. Grasso Boulevard. The goal of the grants program is to encourage and strengthen neighborhood programs and collaborations, increase the economic viability of our neighborhoods, improve the quality of life for our citizens and promote cultural awareness and diversity. I'm thrilled about the expansion of this program.
New Haven has so many talented people and our neighborhoods are so culturally alive.
The grants will provide much-needed support to a range of wonderful projects. All proposed projects, programs or events must take place in New Haven between June 1, 2000- June 30, 2001. Several organizations within the community will help with the outreach and distribution of grant applications. Funding this grant program along with the City is another step towards promoting community involvement and economic development within our region. Applications must be submitted to the Office of Cultural Affairs by April 1, 2000.
