ZANESVILLE - The city of Zanesville has announced a pilot program for a pair of grant opportunities to raise community spirit, and make the city a more attractive place to live.
The two programs, administered and funded by the city s community development department, provide funds for community activities and for external improvements to owner-occupied structures.
The Community Grant Program is designed to facilitate neighborhood programs, and civic engagement events. The city s Community Development Director Matt Schley used the old 8th Ward Reunion as an example.
