Beautify Your Neighborhood Matching Grant
Getting Started
The application guide will help familiarize you with the process and necessary materials for a complete submission. However, the City highly encourages interested neighborhoods to meet with City staff prior to submitting their applications. These meetings are designed to assist with application procedures, explain financial considerations, address plan/design issues, and identify any potential roadblocks or issues that may be present and how to resolve them.
All completed applications must be submitted by Friday, January 26, 2024, for consideration. Applications can be submitted to Taylor Mullinax, Planner I, via email (tmullinax@dublin.oh.us). Physical copies are no longer accepted. It is highly recommended that applicants take advantage of the opportunity to meet with staff virtually or in-person prior to application submission to receive design assistance.

Spring 2023 Recipients
Lakes of Dunmere ($5,000)
The project includes planting a variety of perennial native species that attract pollinators and are non-invasive on the north and south sides of the neighborhood entrance at Muirfield Drive and Dunabbey Loop. The landscaping will be bordered by a dry stacked Blue Vein Limestone wall to enhance the community’s curb appeal.
Villas at St. Andrews ($5,000)
The project includes adding a variety of native plants within the planting beds along the neighborhood’s condo units and main entrance on Monterey Drive. Additional plantings will be added within the landscape buffer along Frantz Road which will improve screening conditions and noise abatement from the adjacent roadway. The new plantings will improve the curb appeal and beautify the community.
About the Program
The Beautify Your Neighborhood Matching Grant Program was established to provide funding assistance to support Dublin Homeowners Associations and Civic Associations in enhancing their neighborhood with high-quality, sustainable beautification projects that benefit and enhance the Dublin community.
The first grants were awarded in 2011, and since then, City staff has worked with numerous associations to identify possible beautification projects and assist in application preparation. Potential projects include entry features enhancements with new signs and lighting, updated landscape beds, benches, removal of invasive species and art installation among others.
Program Guidelines
To qualify, the projects must be clearly visible from the public right-of-way. Beautification projects are required to be new or a rehab of an entry feature such as a sign, stone wall, fence, landscape area or other neighborhood amenity.
Individual grant awards will range between $500 and up to $5,000, unless otherwise approved by City Council. An individual association is limited to no more than one grant award every three years. Each grant requires at least an equal match from the Association. The City will reimburse the Association with the grant amount awarded upon successful completion of the project and conformance with all standards of the program.
