Lincoln Park and Central Hillside residents invited to apply for a Love Your Block mini-grant

[Duluth, MN] The 2022 Love Your Block Duluth mini-grant application is now available at duluthmn.gov/love-your-block/. Applications for the first round of grant funding are due on June 3, 2022. Residents can apply for up to $1,500 to fund a neighborhood improvement project.

Love Your Block believes in the creativity and collaboration of Duluth residents. These funds support a range of activities as long as they are 1) volunteer led and 2) bring neighbors together to reduce blight in Lincoln Park and Central Hillside. A blighted space is something that has not been cared for and is no longer benefiting the community. 

Neighbors are encouraged to work together and in collaboration with the City of Duluth to identify solutions to blight. These projects could look like, but are not limited to, neighborhood clean ups, installing public art, celebrating neighborhood project completion, creating a system for reducing abandoned waste, or repurposing vacant lots as active community spaces.

Love Your Block staff are available to support residents via phone, email, or meeting. Duluth residents can also attend an upcoming information session to ask questions and brainstorm ideas. Children are welcome. Snacks will be provided.
