ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD PROGRAM
What is the Neighborhood Program?
The Neighborhood Program is an initiative developed to build bonds and foster communication between City Hall and Appleton neighborhoods. The goal of the program is to strengthen Appleton's neighborhoods.
How does it work?
How do I register my neighborhood?
First, meet with your neighbors to define your neighborhood boundaries, create a neighborhood name and identify a primary and secondary contact person. Next, submit a neighborhood registration form to the Community and Economic Development Department. There is no cost to register your neighborhood.
How do I define my neighborhood boundaries?
- Assistance in organizing your neighborhood and facilitating group meetings
- Map and demographic information of your neighborhood
- Connect your neighbors and local businesses in your neighborhood
- Receive press releases and information on city events, workshops and other valuable educational opportunities from the Community and Economic Development Department
- Information on forming Neighborhood Watch Groups
- Eligibility for participation in the Neighborhood Academy which is offered in collaboration with Sustainable Fox Valley
- Notification from developers interested in obtaining neighborhood input on projects
- Eligibility for neighborhood grants*
- Presentation to registered neighborhoods by various City staff
THE NEIGHBORHOOD GRANT PROGRAM
The Neighborhood Grant Program (TNGP) is open to all Appleton registered neighborhoods that participate in the City's Neighborhood Program. The grants assist in strengthening and sustaining the social network of the Appleton community and may be applied to projects that enhance cultural, beautification, recreation, education, neighborhood cleanup, neighborhood safety and family/youth issues through resident-driven activities within each neighborhood. Grant applications will be processed twice per year on August 1 and February 1. Staff shall reserve the option, but not an obligation, to process applications at other times when warranted.
