The Waite Park Community Council at its March 31 board meeting will consider reallocating $25,000 in income from its home improvement loan program to cover expenses related to its community garden, rain garden partnership, and rebate programs for 2022.

The money has been accumulating for several years as borrowers have repaid loans from the council’s home improvement loan program, part of its Phase 2 Neighborhood Revitalization Program (NRP). Under the city’s policy, the council must issue a 21-day notice before reallocating funds to a different program.

The money would be used to help pay for adding plots to the Waite Park Community Garden, cover the neighborhood’s costs for its rain garden partnership with Metro Blooms, and continue to fund the neighborhood’s block club and safety and security rebate programs.

The March 31 board meeting will take place at 7 p.m. on Zoom. Meeting link will be posted at https://waiteparkneighborhood.org.
