Apply for a Business Grant


Our member companies are leaders in the DFW Metroplex because they've invested in the community. Now, that investment just became easier through Adopt-A-Block's new Cleanup Grant—funding that will offset the material costs of sponsorship and trash pickup.

Fill out a grant inquiry form to get started.

A Growing Community Attracts Thriving Businesses and Entrepreneurs


Decades of rapid population growth in Dallas-Fort Worth has brought about a problem with no easy solutions – no amount of highway construction can “build” North Texas out of its growing traffic troubles.

“We can't build our way out. We don't have the funding to do it. And, frankly, we don't have the ability to construct the amount of capacity that we need,” said Dan Lamers, the senior manager of Metropolitan Transportation Planning for the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG).

The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex grew faster than any other major metropolitan area in the country between 2022 and 2023, according to the U.S. Census. Nearly 153,000 people were added to the approximately 8.1 million who now call the DFW area home.

They've adopted the bustling Lemmon Avenue block from W. Mockingbird to N. Versailles. A1 Locksmith’s clean-up costs were offset with an Adopt-A-Block grant of $2,492. Their first cleanup on Friday, May 17, 2024, marked the beginning of a cleaner, greener Lemmon Ave. community. Hats off to A1 Locksmith!
