Approved applicants will receive $200 per week and may apply for up to four weeks, subject to availability. Available funds will be distributed on a first come, first served basis. Learn more and apply here.
The Community Center Conversation
As many of you have seen at our open houses or by visiting the site, our beloved 73-year-old Barrett Community Center was built as a school and is now well beyond its useful life. Meanwhile, the Belmont community of today and tomorrow needs a modern facility that meets current accessibility, earthquake, and fire safety standards.
It’s not too late to join the conversation! Attend an upcoming open house and complete the online survey today. Our next Open House will be held Wednesday, May 8, 5:30pm - 6:30pm at Barrett Community Center. More information is available at www.belmont.gov/communitycenter.
