There’s free money out there for painting and guttering if you live in a neighborhood revitalization area in Newton. In August of 2021, the city allocated $50,000 to a program that would pay half the cost of painting or guttering improvements to homes in the revitalization area. The program would pay up to $1,000 for buying materials. So far though, no one’s really used it. “Just three rebates have been issued,” said Rebecca Likiardopoulos, Director of Administrative Services with the city. “I don’t think it’s made its way into the mainstream,” she said of knowledge of the program.
