KINGSTON – The City of Kingston is taking applications for funding from group and organizations in the Rondout area through the 2019 participatory budgeting process.
Mayor Steven Noble last month announced the projects selected by community members in each business district allocating funds.
The Rondout district voted to allot its $20,000 for “youth programs, community events, education and wellness centers.” Through the Office of Economic and Community Development, the city is now taking applications for funding from groups and organizations operating in the Rondout area. Programming and event applications should have a minimum of $500 in funding requests.
The application is available online and must be submitted to the city’s Office of Economic and Community Development by Friday, November 15, at 3 p.m.
A community engagement meeting about any application will be held on Tuesday, November 19 at 6:30 p.m. in Conference Room 1 at City Hall, 420 Broadway. A subcommittee of the Community Development Advisory Board will review all applications and will make the funding decisions.
