LakewoodAlive, with Community Development Block Grant funding support from the City of
Lakewood, announces a program to encourage residents to paint the exterior of their homes in 2011.
The “Paint Lakewood” program offers rebates of up to $1000 on paint and supplies to eligible
homeowners and residents.
