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 secured over $3.5 million in grant money for many different projects — from water lines, street improvements and water tower updates to a second new water tower, ADA-compliant ramps and restrooms, and new state-mandated street signs. 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.
