Creve Coeur residents looking to tackle stormwater issues have a financial lifeline to grab onto. The city is rolling out an informational event for its annual Stormwater Management Cost-Share Program, set for May 28, from 4:45-5:45 p.m. at the Council Chamber in the Creve Coeur Government Center, as announced on the city's official website. This event promises to be a resource-rich hour for the community, offering folks a chance to learn how to get some much-needed monetary support.
The program's objective is plain and simple: It aims to help both Homeowner Associations (HOAs) and individual homeowners. According to the Creve Coeur official announcement, there's an opportunity to not only receive an explanation on how the program works but also to directly ask staff questions to better understand it. Two HOA projects stand to gain a 50% reimbursement of paid costs, which could go up to $20,000, while individual homeowners can seek to recover similarly up to $5,000 for their projects.
For those considering applying, the clock is ticking. With the deadline for applications being July 15, interested parties will need to gather their documentation and get their ducks in a row ahead of time. The event is set to provide help in navigating this process, ensuring applicants know exactly what the program entails and how to effectively apply for funding.
The program also looks to encourage community members to actively manage and mitigate stormwater issues that plagues many a neighborhood. Remember, spots are limited—both at the event and in the program—so those interested might want to quickly mark their calendars and start preparing to apply.
