Clifton Town Meeting is seeking ideas for which to apply annual Neighborhood Support Program funding. To submit an idea for 2023 Neighborhood Support Program (NSP) funding, please complete Clifton Town Meeting’s NSP2023 Idea Submission form by Jan. 10, 2023. All Clifton residents, regardless of CTM membership status, will be able to vote in-person on proposed ideas during Clifton Town Meeting’s Feb. 6, 2023 meeting.

Last year’s NSP program funded three community projects: Installation of security cameras on Clifton Plaza, sponsorship of the Clifton Cultural Arts Center’s Carpool Cinema events, and a portion of the summer publication of the Clifton Chronicle.

Through this year’s NSP program, each community council can apply for up to $9,872 to be spent by January 14, 2024. Ideas discussed by Clifton Town Meeting trustees so far include the purchase and installation of hybrid meeting technology at the Clifton Recreation Center to support greater access to CTM monthly meetings and other community events.
