The Historic West Side Neighborhood Association
has been working to spruce up the corners in our neighborhood.
The association was given 1000 tulip bulbs to
spruce up the neighborhood. We planted the corners of MacArthur and
Lawrence with tulips. We also planted tulips on Monroe by the Sacred Heart
Motherhouse.
We have 99 plantable corners and about 1/3 of
those are currently being planted by volunteers.
The HWSNA received a grant from Springfield Green
to purchase tress for public placement. The tree grant program offered up to
$300 for neighborhood and homeowner's associations to replace some of the many
trees destroyed by the recent tornados and ice storms.
