Fincastle Wins 30 in 30

The Town of Fincastle has been awarded a $750 30 in 30 grant in the Community Beautification Category. Our Thirty Grants in 30 Days program focuses greater resources and attention on organizations and individual localities throughout the Commonwealth and how they are addressing the issues of litter prevention, recycling, waste reduction, beautification and education.

We provided the opportunity for government, non-profit and/or service organizations in Virginia to apply for one of our 30 in 30 grants of $500 to $1,000 in three different categories: Litter Prevention, Recycling, and Community Beautification. These grants are made possible by Lowe’s Charitable & Educational Foundation and MeadWestvaco.

The Town of Fincastle is looking to revamp, revitalize and rebuild its historic park in the center of town. This once beautiful community gathering place has provided a venue for town events for over 150 years and it is now in need of some TLC. We know the value of preserving historic beauty and we are honored to help Fincastle bring its prestigious park back to life. The townspeople and its numerous business and community partners are planning to revamp the lighting and benches, restore its stream, paint and fix some structures, plant some trees and shrubs; basically, give their beloved park a makeover.
