Urban Gardens Grant Act

This law creates a program and a supporting fund to provide one-time grants of up to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) to nonprofit entities for the purchase of greenhouses and other materials to establish and operate an urban garden in a low-income area. Grant recipients must be non profit organizations located in food deserts that serve residents of the community in which they are located and must be able to demonstrate that an awarded grant will expand and stimulate economic activity and provide increased opportunities for the citizens in the area they serve to obtain healthier food options.
