Poplar Estates Homeowners Association is pleased to announce that we have been selected as one of six recipients of the2026 Germantown Neighborhood Grant.

This year, the City of Germantown received 24 neighborhood grant applications, and Poplar Estates was awarded$4,780 to support our neighborhood communications plan thanks to the hard work of your officers! These funds will help cover website hosting, membership management tools, and more frequent printed newsletters for our community.

For a neighborhood of more than 900 households, communication matters. While many residents now expect updates through email, social media, text, and the web, we also know that printed newsletters remain an important way to reach established neighbors who prefer traditional communication. This grant allows us to strengthen both approaches at the same time.

The award will help PEHA expand resident engagement, improve neighborhood awareness, and support leadership development by giving neighbors more consistent ways to stay informed, participate, and connect with one another.

We are grateful to the City of Germantown for investing in strong neighborhoods and for recognizing the importance of clear, inclusive communication across our community. Thank you as well to the volunteers and PEHA members who help keep Poplar Estates connected, informed, and moving forward.
