2007 Building Livable Communities

Communities worked up to the March 10th deadline to submit proposals for the first ever “Building Livable Communities” Grant Program. The diversity of projects ranged from downtown revitalization projects to Safe Routes to School to green design for municipal buildings, green energy programs and sustainable community planning, to name just a few. MLUC received 14 applications in the category of Sustainability and 14 in the category of “Integrated Land Use and Transportation.” The grants are currently being reviewed. MLUC anticipates notifying all applicants by mid-April. Look for the awards announcement in our next newsletter.
