FLINT -- Community members are inspiring each other to make Flint neighborhoods friendlier.
Neighborhood groups, block clubs and associations shared their ideas at a neighborhood summit at Calvary United Methodist church Saturday.
About 150 people talked about what kinds of projects worked well in the past and applied for mini grants to start new projects.
Natalie Pruett, program manager for the Community Foundation of Greater Flint's Neighborhood Small Grants Program, said, “They are talking about their block clubs, their beautification projects and they are also talking about things that they want to see happen that they haven't been able to solve and how they can make things happen and make things bigger and better than they are.”
Nearly 40 $1,000 grants were doled out to neighborhood groups at the end of the summit.
