Phoenix Plants First Cool Corridor at Cesar Chavez Parkhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/environmental-programs/2321Environment & Sustainability4/22/2022 5:45:00 PMhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/2321/IMG_0656.JPGhttps://youtu.be/5mxNQHBqzIoPhoenix Plants First Cool Corridor at Cesar Chavez Park<div class=”ExternalClass2E727B13B899460D8D9F8F9EB213A579″><html> <p></p>Phoenix is helping to cool neighborhoods and increase social equity, one tree at a time. Mayor Kate Gallego, the City’s <a target=”_blank” href=”/heat”>Office of Heat Response and Mitigation​</a> (also known as HeatReadyPHX), along with the nation’s oldest conservation non-profit, American Forests, began a new era of urban tree canopy growth with the planting of the city’s first Cool Corridor on Saturday, April 16.<br><br>“With today’s planting of more than 250 trees in the city’s first Cool Corridor, we mark an important milestone toward our goal of 100 Cool Corridors by 2030,” said Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego. “With American Forests and private sector partners, we’re proud to prioritize investment in low-income and heat vulnerable neighborhoods. This corridor models the vision for tree equity and will serve students walking to and from nearby schools, public transit riders, and residents in this community.”<br><br>Gallego helped plant one of the 259 new trees along Baseline Road at Cesar Chavez Park. More than 100 volunteers joined in planting Elm, Ash, Sissoo, and Chinese Pistache — all drought-resistant, Phoenix-native trees.<br><br>The creation of a Cool Corridor marks a major milestone in the city’s national partnership with American Forests, as well as Phoenix’s Metro Urban Forestry Roundtable.<br><br><a target=”_blank” href=”http://www.americanforests.org”>American Forests​</a> is dedicated to using forest preservation and reforestation to slow climate change and advance social equity. The organization’s President and CEO Jad Daley also helped plant a tree to kick off the event.<br><br>“Phoenix is stepping up to ensure all people, regardless of race or income level, get access to the life-saving benefits of trees,” said Daley. “This successful partnership between local government, passionate citizens and the private sector is exactly what we’d like to see in every city across America.”<br><br>Cool corridors — high-traffic walkways and roads shaded with trees — are one of the ways HeatReadyPHX is working to provide relief from hot weather and increase Tree Equity. Achieving Tree Equity, according to the American Forests definition of the term, ensures that all people can experience the health, social, economic, and environmental benefits that trees provide.<br><br>American Forests’ Tree Equity Score – an online map tool that measures the amount of tree canopy in all 150,000 urbanized neighborhoods across the United States – shows that the neighborhoods with the fewest trees are too often communities of color and economically disadvantaged.<br><br>This month marks one year since Phoenix became the first American city to pledge Tree Equity by entering into a five-year partnership with American Forests to implement a strategic, data-driven planting and preservation plan.<br><br>In the last year, American Forests has raised more than $325,000 for tree planting efforts on behalf of the city. Significant funding for Saturday’s event came from Aspiration, IHeartMedia, and Salesforce. HeatReadyPHX is also working closely with Neighborhood Services, the Street Transportation Department, Public Works, and Parks & Recreation to make the planting possible.<br><br><p style=”text-align:justify;”>For more information on Tree Equity or the American Forests partnership with Phoenix, please visit treeequityscore.org.<span style=”background-color:window;color:windowtext;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;”>​</span></p></html></div>https://www.phoenix.gov/oepVideoenvironmental-programsEnvironment#trees #treeequity @AmericanForests @HeatReadyPHX @StreetsPHX @PhoenixParks @PHXNeighborhood @PHXenvironment @CityofPhoenixAZ @TalkingTrashPHX #sustainability #ClimateAction #ClimateActionNowtrees, planting, sustainability, environment, climate change, tree equitySpencer Blake602-818-6033602-262-6822spencer.blake@phoenix.govPHXEnvironment

Historic Preservation Rehabilitation Grant Funds Now Available https://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/planning-and-development/2461Planning and Development8/26/2022 4:00:00 PMhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/2461/grant 5.jpgHistoric Preservation Rehabilitation Grant Funds Now Available <div class=”ExternalClass35203A1E453340B483A2905FA76ED57B”><html> <p>​The city of Phoenix Planning and Development Department’s Historic Preservation Office is pleased to announce the return of grant money availability that could help you with your historic home rehabilitation costs.</p> <p>Voters approved more than $42 million in bond funds from 1989 through 2006 for Historic Preservation. These funds were used to enhance, preserve and protect dozens of city-owned historic properties in Phoenix and were used to establish multiple grant programs for private property owners, including the Exterior Rehabilitation Grant Program. </p> <p>The last of the 2006 Exterior Rehabilitation bond funds were allocated in 2015, and no grant rounds occurred from 2016 through 2020.  However, in 2021, the City Council set aside $200,000 from the General Fund to re-establish the Exterior Rehabilitation Grant Program.  These funds were awarded to 12 grant applicants last fiscal year, and now the City Council has approved another $200,000 for Exterior Rehabilitation grants for the 2022-23 fiscal year.  Applications for the new fiscal year are now being accepted. </p> <p>As was the case in 2021, this year’s program offers more funding and flexibility than in previous years:</p> <p>• Applications are now submitted electronically.  No more making multiple hard copies and submitting applications in person.<br></p> <p>• Only one cost estimate is required for each work item instead of two.</p> <p>• Instead of a $10,000 limit as in the past, you can now request up to $20,000 in funding.</p> <p>Applications for this round of funding are due by Friday, November 18, 2022, at 5:00 p.m. </p> <p>In addition, a virtual grant workshop will take place on Thursday, September 15, 2022, at 6:00 p.m.  A WebEx meeting link will be provided on the city of Phoenix Historic Preservation Office website approximately 48 hours before the workshop begins.  The workshop will also be recorded so it can be viewed afterward, with a link provided on the HP website. </p> <p>For more information, please visit the city’s website at <a target=”_blank” href=”/pdd/historic-preservation/exterior-rehab-assistance”>https://www.phoenix.gov/pdd/historic-preservation/exterior-rehab-assistance </a>or e-mail staff at <a target=”_blank” href=”mailto:historic@phoenix.gov”>historic@phoenix.gov​</a>.​<br></p> <p> <br> </p> </html></div>https://www.phoenix.gov/pddNews
