Barclay is on the Move!

With the support and dedication of Lottie Sneed, GHCC’s Barclay Community Builder, residents in the Barclay neighborhood continue to make strides in building and stronger, and more beautiful, community.

Barclay residents with GHCC’s Lottie Sneed receive a Spruce Up grant on May 9th

The Bold, Beautiful, and Brilliant Barclay team was awarded a $21,000 Spruce Up Grant for beautification and greening of the Barclay neighborhood.  The team, composed of old and new residents, worked diligently to propose a vision that would send a message of community pride to neighborhood visitors. You may recall from our past post Barclay Green Efforts in Full Gear that community residents had already begun working on  flower gardens and greening spaces at 20^th and Guilford as well as 24^th and Barclay Streets. These new funds will help residents complete these projects as well as support the implementation of  trees and tree wells will be and the completion of an orchard.  Moreover, boarded up properties will receive paint and art design and there will be community outreach and support to reduce trash on the streets with strategically placed trash cans.  We will have a busy summer – come out and join us.
