Funding

Budgeted funds each fiscal year will not exceed $200,000.
SL4B may fund a lesser amount of 50% or $75,000 of the total project cost.

Project Criteria

The project must comply with this policy and State eligibility requirements for SL4B funding.

The project must be located within the City’s corporate limits.
The project must be located on public property, easement or enhance or protect public property.
