Residents in 2 Syracuse neighborhoods can now get $2,500 to improve ‘curb appeal’ of their homes

Syracuse, N.Y. -- Residents of two Syracuse neighborhoods can apply now for home improvement grants of up to $2,500 under a long-awaited city program to spruce up housing in the Salt Springs and Tipp Hill-Far West Side areas.

If you want a grant, you’ll have to get together with your neighbors. City officials will only consider applications from teams of at least three neighbors who all commit to making curb-appeal improvements to their homes.
