Improve Your Neighborhood!

Suggest a project to receive a grant from the

Neighborhood Participation Program (NPP)

The City of Lakewood offers the NPP grants. Most grants are around $10-15,000 but can be requested from $1 to $35,000. The ideas must be things that benefit the larger community and must be on public property. Some grants that Eiber has been awarded in the past include signage at 10th and Wadsworth signifying entry into our neighborhood and active speed limit signs on Garrison Street. (Funds cannot be used for speed bumps). Email any ideas to Beth Wicht at secretary.eiber@gmail.com or call 303-205-0163. Our internal deadline for projects is mid-August to allow time for submission to the City by early September.

Community Yard Sale a Huge Success!

The first ever Eiber Community Yard Sale, held May 30th, raised $1,630. The money will be used to fund the bi-annual newsletter, and fulfill a $5oo matching grant commitment to the city of Lakewood for the Garrison Street Active Speed Sign. This was entirely a volunteer event driven by donations from Eiber residents. Congratulations and a huge Thank You to all those who volunteered their time and made donations. Details...
