Staff told the Main Street board an AARP Livability grant (up to $2,500, no match) could be paired with a DOLA mini-grant (about $10,000 now, potentially $20,000 by 2029) to finance benches, ADA tables, foot-path lighting, little free libraries or wayfinding features in downtown Elizabeth. The application deadline is Aug. 28.
