Yard rebates in Newark
4 programs can pay Newark residents for yard projects: 3 run by the city, the county or the utilities and districts that serve it, and 1 open to anyone in Delaware. The largest, NCCD State Cost-Share and Urban Gardener Mini-Grant, pays up to $3,000 per household.
Utility programs only apply to that utility’s customers, so check who supplies your water and power.
