Under the Communities Facilities Improvement Program, applicants will receive support to improve their facilities by enabling important repairs and improvements to the interior and exterior features of their buildings.
Through this program, local organizations will continue providing the public access to their facilities and help them maintain a lasting impact for the people in our communities.
