2025 Fishers Vibrancy Grants
Part of Fishers’ 2025 budget includes grants that are an investment in neighborhoods around the city. Here is who’s getting money this March.
2025’s Neighborhood Vibrancy grants are off with a bang, with almost $422,582 in grant money being given out to 23 neighborhoods across Fishers.
If you know Fishers Digest you know I can’t help myself but run some fun stats. The City of Fishers says they’ve invested nearly 2.2 million in neighborhood vibrancy over the past 25 years.
If my math is right, 1.15 million of that has come in just the past year alone (including this go around)
I threw all the past years winners and their reasons for winning into an AI tool, and here’s what it spit out as the top project types:
- Neighborhood Entrance Beautification (37 projects): Think spruced-up landscaping, fresh signs, and better lighting at neighborhood gateways.
- Environmental Improvements (17 projects): Tree planting, pond care, and erosion fixes with native plants led the green charge.
- Community Amenities (10 projects): Playgrounds and parks got love, often with inclusive additions like ADA accessibility.
- Infrastructure Upgrades (10 projects): Paths, sidewalks, and lighting were revamped for safety and function.
Does this all line up with what Fishers put out as this year’s requirements? Seems like it!
