The City of Knoxville would like to help paint your home.
A donation of paint was made to the city to rehabilitate the exterior of one residential home and the city is taking applications to choose which one.
The city was awarded the paint through a 2015 Paint Iowa Beautiful Grant, courtesy of Keep Iowa Beautiful and the Diamond Vogel Paint Company.
Knoxville Management Intern Lauren Dietz says applications will be accepted until Thursday, April 30th, at 2pm, with a winner announced in early May. She hopes this is the start of many exterior rehabilitation projects in the Knoxville area for years to come.
Knoxville will provide the paint and volunteers will provide the labor over a weekend in June. More information on how to apply is available on the city’s website, http://www.knoxvilleia.gov/
