New Hope Curbside Appeal Reimbursement Program
New Hope residents looking to beautify their homes may be eligible for a reimbursement through the city’s new Curbside Appeal Reimbursement Program.
The program gives owners of single-family and two-family homes who make upgrades to the exterior a reimbursement for a portion of the project cost.
The overall goal is to improve the city’s housing stock by instilling confidence in neighborhoods and increasing home values.

“The CARES Funding [Act] resulted in a budget surplus for the city of New Hope,” said Jeff Alger, Community Development Specialist, New Hope. “The city council elected to allocate $100,000 of that surplus towards this program.”
