City Taking Proposals for 'Celebrate Kent!' Grant Program

The city of Kent is accepting applications for qualified projects for the fiscal year 2012 round of the "Celebrate Kent!" grant program. 

Those interested in applying for money should submit a completed application by May 24, 2012, at 4 p.m. to the address listed on the application form.

All applications received will initially be reviewed by the Kent Economic and Community Development Departments for eligibility and completeness.  Recommendations will then be forwarded to the Kent City Council for financial support consideration. A copy of the application is attached to this article for download.

Questions related to the Celebrate Kent! grant program should be directed to Dan Smith at 330-676-7582 or via email at smithd@kent-ohio.org.

Last year, the city received applications requesting a total of $41,355, but only $30,000 was available. That amount was more than 2010, when the city had slightly more than $10,000 for the grant program.
