"Reno City Council approved a bid Wednesday from Action Electric Inc., for the lighting project in Yori Park, in an amount not to exceed $28,920.
Through a neighborhood survey, residents in the Linden/Grove area determined that it was a high priority for them to have the existing vandalized light fixtures in Yori Park repaired. The project will install new vandal-resistant fixtures on existing poles. The new fixtures will incorporate energy saving light emitting diode (LED) technology, high impact, vandal-resistant lamps, and low motion activated dimming capabilities.
Funding for this project is to be provided through a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). The CDBG Program provides annual direct grants to communities that can be used to expand affordable housing and economic opportunities, to revitalize neighborhoods, and/or to improve community facilities and services, principally for the benefit of low to moderate income individuals.
In October 2008, the Reno City Council approved Linden/Grove Yori as the fiscal year 2008-2009 Neighborhood Revitalization Program target area. The Neighborhood Revitalization Program focuses on assisting in efforts for families to engage in positive community gatherings and improving community esteem along with reducing blight and crime in the area.
