Board reallocates CDBG dollars to expand county cesspool replacement program

Sep 17, 2025

After Prescott Valley lost eligibility under the rural CDBG program, the Board approved reallocating about $271,000 to expand the county's cesspool replacement program (bringing that project to $642,647) and prioritized Ash Fork and Seligman while leaving funds open to countywide needs.

The full story

Development Services reported that reduced state CDBG funding and Prescott Valley's reclassification to an entitlement city reduced rural CDBG funds available to the county. Staff recommended moving $271,000 previously allocated to a Prescott Valley food bank project to the county's cesspool replacement program to preserve the overall package of projects. The reallocation brings the countycesspool program to about $642,647 and keeps the Verde Valley Habitat and other projects funded within the new total.
