American Legion Post 151-John Custy Post has an empty lot except for a sign designating it as the “Veterans Corner” and a few trees that have been planted in honor of Post 151 veterans. The corner needs to be developed to become a true memorial to veterans and first responders.

The Colorado Village Cooperative wants to build a community garden to provide a safe place to learn, grow, eat and connect with neighbors. This project also addresses food insecurity by providing a community garden for Elyria-Swansea neighbors who may not have ready access to healthy produce or the means to grow their own. Gardening-related and healthy living classes also will be provided in the garden.

Historic Elitch Theater would like to complete two projects on the exterior of the theatre: painting the fly building and pouring a concrete patio. The fly building is over 65-years old and the gray cinderblock has never been painted. Some damage occurred on the West side of the building and was covered with boards. The project would help the theater become an aesthetically pleasing part of the neighborhood.
