    Neighborhood Enhancement Program

    Residents and staff chat on a Neighborhood Walk in 2018.

    The Neighborhood Enhancement Program empowers residents to propose and select modest, city-funded capital projects to enhance their neighborhoods. The program rotates through the city's 14 NEP neighborhood areas over the course of seven years, serving two areas each year. The $5 million program allocation is distributed among each of the neighborhood areas, according to the number of households in each area.

    Hear what your neighbors have to say about NEP and learn about the process from the video "What is NEP?"

    Eastgate/Factoria residents:  Thanks to everyone who submitted project suggestions for how to use the $370,000 in NEP funding available to your area.

Keep an eye on your mailbox for information about an Open House on June 15th to present the ballot of projects.

    When NEP comes to your neighborhood area, it follows a sequence.

    1. Solicitation: Residents submit project ideas (mail, website or kick-off meeting).
    2. Scoping: Staff review project ideas using screening criteria and generate ballot projects.
    3. Preview: Residents review ballot projects at public open house.
    4. Voting: Households in the neighborhood area receive ballots in the mail to vote for three projects of their choice.
    5. Implementation: The city implements projects that receive the most votes within five years.
