Grant & Aid Information & Application

Have you ever wondered how decisions are made at the City? How money is spent? What it's like to work here? Who delivers a specific service?

Now you can find out! Introducing: City University - Know Your City. This free, new program offers a behind-the-scenes look at how our departments provide exceptional customer service throughout our community.

Participants will get to peek behind the curtain to learn how decisions are made and how our City operates on a day-to-day basis. Complete with presentations, interactive activities and immersive tours, this six-session class will equip graduates to be ambassadors in the community, advocates in City Hall, and supporters with our legislative delegation.
