FREEHOLD — The Freehold Borough Neighborhood Pride Committee has announced the deadline for applications for two community projects.
The community garden has quite a few plots available for amateur gardeners seeking to create and cultivate flowers, herbs or vegetables in the garden at Ford Avenue and Lloyd Street.
Applications for plots need to be filled out and submitted to the borough clerk’s office at Borough Hall, 51 W. Main St. The applications are available at www.bettertheboro. com and at Borough Hall. Deadline for submission is March 15. The fee for a 10-foot by 10-foot plot is $20.
In addition, the WorldChangers, back for their third year, will be ready to work on selected owner-occupied homes during early July for four days. Projects of all sizes will be considered. Projects may include painting, house repairs indoors and outdoors, and roofing; but will not include plumbing or electricity. There is no fee for applications, which are also available at www.bettertheboro. com and at Borough Hall.
“The Neighborhood Pride Committee has proven itself vital to the community of Freehold Borough, and the past successes of both the community garden and the WorldChangers will make their 2010 projects even more lively and inclusive,” said Councilman Kevin Kane, the council’s liaison to the Neighborhood Pride Committee.
“We urge all residents who want to participate in these projects to obtain and fill out their applications, and submit them no later than March 15. We will ensure, to the best of our ability, that no one gets turned away,” Kane added.
