The 2016-2017 city budget and the East End

Church Hill RVA breaks down how the Mayor’s proposed 2016-2017 budget shakes out for the East End:

Here are a few of the projects and groups receiving money from the City over the next two calendar years:

• RRHA East End Transformation — $200,000 FY16 and $200,000 FY17
• Stone Brewery Development Grant — $300,000 FY17
• Capital Area Partnership Uplifting People — $108,840 FY16 and $108,840 FY17
• East End Teen Center — $24,750 FY16 and $24,750 FY17
• Peter Paul Development Center — $60,000 FY16 and $60,000 FY17
• Robinson Theatre Community Arts Center — $10,000 FY16 and $10,000 FY17
• Neighborhood Resource Center of Greater Fulton — $33,000 FY16 and $33,000 FY17

Of course these are just some of the East End-related projects that will be funded. The city will also earmark money for public housing redevelopment, riverfront redevelopment, and schools–all of which directly impact the East End.
