Fulton Block Builders will hold a community information session to answer questions about their 2024 application process on Wednesday January 10th at River Vista Conference Center, 810 South 1st Street, Fulton NY at 6:00pm. There will be a short presentation on how the program works and plenty of time to get all your questions answered. Two thousand twenty-four is sure to be another amazing year for this program and FBB wants everyone to have a chance to become involved. Any block in the city can apply to the program and this year FBB has received additional funding to promote more east-side blocks to apply.
The FBB Block Challenge is a neighborhood revitalization program that encourages groups of neighbors to collaborate on exterior improvements to their properties, with the goal of building confidence in Fulton’s neighborhoods and inspire others to reinvest. Since FBB’s start in 2017, we have funded 1385 properties and participating FBB residents invested nearly 4 million dollars in their homes. Each participating property owner in a Challenge Block is eligible to receive a dollar-for-dollar match on exterior improvements up to $1,000.
Aside from matching grant funding, participating homeowners have access to discounts from sponsoring hardware stores and garden centers. There are also additional bonuses for corner properties, block leaders and for using the Historical Colors that can found on the Paint Fulton tab of the FBB website.

FBB Block applications are competitive s for strong block applications will be discussed at the information meeting. Snacks and drinks will be available.
