FOREST CREEK NORTH THREE AND FOUR H OA TREASURER, BILL BURLEY WANTS OTHERS TO KNOW.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD VITALITY AND BEAUTIFICATION GRANT IS INVALUABLE.
IT'S A GREAT WAY TO STRETCH YOUR H O A DOLLAR AND, UH, YOU KNOW, WE REALLY LIKE IT.
HIS NEIGHBORHOOD RECEIVED REIMBURSEMENT FUNDS TO PAY FOR A BENCH AT THE GREENVILLE.
WE WANTED SOMETHING THAT WAS FUNCTIONAL.
WE TALKED ABOUT PICNIC TABLE, WE TALKED ABOUT SEVERAL THINGS, BUT I THINK WHAT MADE US GO WITH THE BENCH IS THAT, YOU KNOW, IT WAS SOMETHING VERY FUNCTIONAL.
UM, IT DOES ENHANCE THE NEIGHBORHOOD FIVE MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD.
DENIM VILLAGE H OA, PRESIDENT HANK YANICK IS APPRECIATIVE OF CITY FUNDS USED TO CREATE A MORE WELCOMING NEIGHBORHOOD.
FOUR YEARS AGO WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY SIGNS.
NOW WITH THE BIG SIGNS FOR DENI VILLAGE, WHICH WAS PAID FOR IN PART BY THE CITY OF PLANO, UM, BECAUSE OF THE GRANT PROGRAM, WHICH HAS BEEN INCREDIBLE FOR US.
YOU ENTER THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PRIDE.
THE DENIM VILLAGE HOA IS VOLUNTARY, MEANING THE DUES ARE NOT REQUIRED FOR YANICK.
THE GRANT FUNDING HOLDS EVEN GREATER IMPORTANCE.
PARTICIPATION IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR A, UH, VOLUNTEER HOA.
BOTTOM LINE IS YOU CAN'T DO A LOT OF THINGS WITHOUT HAVING FUNDS.
THIS SCREENING WALL ACROSS THE TOLLWAY IN THE PARK BROOK NEIGHBORHOOD HOA PRESIDENT JIM DOLAN IS PROUD TO SHOW OFF THEIR ENTRANCE WITH NEW LANDSCAPING, IRRIGATION AND LIGHTING.
BEING A SMALL HOA, WE ONLY HAVE 95 HOMES, SO WE ONLY COLLECT ABOUT $33,000 A YEAR.
SO WE COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT THE TWO GRANTS.
SO IT WAS GREAT THAT WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE TWO GRANTS SPREAD OUT OVER TWO YEARS CUZ WE COULDN'T IMPLEMENT ALL THE PROJECTS WITHIN ONE YEAR ANYWAY.
SO IT ENDED UP BEING A GREAT PARTNERSHIP AND YOU TOO CAN PARTNER WITH THE CITY TO ENHANCE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
