Each year the Village of Pleasantville Mayor and Council work with state, federal and local sources for grant money.  In recent years, the village has been able to secure over $3.5 million dollars of grant money for many different projects.  From water lines, street improvements, water tower updates as well as a second new water tower, ADA compliant ramps and restrooms, and new street signs mandated by the state.  Below are some of the recent grants the village has obtained.


There is a lot of behind the scenes work for these grants and your mayor and council work hard to ensure the village is awarded as much grant money as possible.
