VTICA Survey
This is your opportunity to submit your suggestions for potential VTICA projects, that we, the Oakley Community Council, should consider for submission for this year's VTICA funding (see details below).
You can submit as many suggestions here as you wish, but we ask that you submit a new form for each one. Just makes it easier for us to track/manage.
You can view previously submitted suggestions here.
In the past we've used VTICA for:
2025: Geier Esplanade Pavilion Design Project / $35,000.00
2025: Eastern Gateway Mural Design Project / $10,000.00
2025: Membership/Sponsorship Campaign / $20,000.00
Projects should relate to the implementation of an existing neighborhood plan or are paramount to the preservation and/or revitalization of the neighborhood.
