The NIC helps to maintain the curb appeal and desirability of the neighborhoods that comprise Southfield with the Neighborhood Entranceway and Beautification program and the annual Community Pride Awards Competition. Neighborhood leaders who wish to beautify their entranceways with flowers, shrubs and subdivision signs can receive matching funding from the City for these improvements. Whatever funding the neighborhood raises and invests, the City will double match, up to a maximum City match of $1,000.00. The Center also organizes with the Southfield Parks and Garden Club, the annual Community Pride Awards program which recognizes homeowners, multiple-family residential complexes, public buildings and neighborhoods for outstanding property maintenance and keeping Southfield beautiful.
