LIBERTY — Sullivan 180 is pleased to announce the 2024 Beautification Program grant recipients. The Sullivan 180 Beautification Program offers grants up to $2,500 for the care of public spaces, creation and maintenance of gardens, landscaping and other beautification activities. 

Several projects will also have a paid seasonal intern to support their work. Additionally, the program requires youth involvement in the care of public spaces.
