Community Beautification Program

The Community Beautification Program (CBP) provides funding to Marysville neighborhoods, community groups, and local businesses (businesses located from the south city limit to 8th St. and the west city limit east to Alder Ave.) that want to work together to beautify their neighborhood or other areas of the community. Applicants can apply for grant funding of up to $7,500 for potential first time grant recipients or $5,000 for those that have previously received CPB funds. Applicants that have been awarded funds and submitted for reimbursement in two previous grant cycles are not eligible for funding. Grant funds can be used for completing community landscaping efforts, neighborhood cleanup of common or publicly visible areas, or other projects that help enhance the quality of life for the community. Businesses can apply for funding for exterior improvements such as façade, sign or other beautification projects. 

Well-kept neighborhoods and business areas provide benefits to both residents and visitors.  They are safer, healthier places that the City of Marysville is proud to support.
