The City of Fishers will pay local neighborhoods $66,659 in Vibrant Neighborhoods Matching Grant money recommended by a committee to spruce up areas at least ten years old.  City officials told the Board of Works and Public Safety a requirement that a neighborhood may only apply for a grant one-out-of-three years resulted in some applications being denied.  As part of the action taken Tuesday, the board approved language removing the one-out-of-three year requirement.  You can find the full list of the applications approved and denied at this link.  Neighborhoods receiving the money will be responsible for compliance with all laws that apply.

In another action, the board voted to provide several fireworks displays this summer with a contract not to exceed $135,000 for Madbomber Fireworks.  Fireworks events include:

–A June 15 city celebration for high school graduating seniors

–Spark Fishers

–Geist Blast on the Bridge
