EASTPOINTE The Eastpointe community will receive funds from two grant programs, albeit in two very different manners.
The first grant was given directly to the city from the Greater Metropolitan Association of Realtors. It will consist of $2,500, which will be used to make improvements to the city’s Children’s Garden Park.
Eastpointe Mayor Monique Owens was able to apply for the grant since she is a member of the GMAR.
“I was glad to use my platform and to use my membership as a means to apply and represented Eastpointe as mayor in the application process,” Owens said. “We will continue to revitalize our community and keep it looking welcoming and inviting. We believe that this grant will enhance our already beautiful Children’s Garden and create a space where our children feel comfortable.”
