11 Fishers neighborhoods will get the city’s help in their beautification projects, following a vote Monday by the Board of Public Works and Safety.  The action approves $44,000 for these local spruce-up efforts.  Don Domsic, Community Engagement and Volunteer Coordinator for the Parks and Recreation Department, told the board 15 neighborhoods asked for funds.  Those rejected were for reasons such as not waiting the proper time period between grants, incomplete applications and ineligible interior work.  The project was budgeted for $50,000.  Neighborhoods applied for the grants and a committee considered each request individually.  You can read all the grant requests, and whether they were approved or disapproved, at this link.

In other board actions, approval was given to limit parking in downtown Fishers on the entire north side of North street between Commercial Blvd to Lantern Rd where signs are placed, in accordance with city ordinances.

The board also approved contracts for engineering services tied to the upgrade of State Road 37.
