Logan reports eight CDBG projects completed in 2024, including ADA ramps, park path and mural
Summary
City staff presented the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) for CDBG program year 2024 and council approved the CAPER; projects included 45 ADA ramps, a multi‑use path at Lundstrom Park, pedestrian beacons and a new mural in the Merlin Olsen underpass
City staff presented the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program year 2024 and the council approved the CAPER at the Sept. 2 meeting.
Amanda, a community development staff member, told the council the CAPER covers the program year that ran July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025 and reports on the annual action plan and the city’s five‑year consolidated plan goals. The stated Con Plan objectives she cited were an emphasis on suitable living environments (60 percent), public service capacity (20 percent) and administration and planning (20 percent).
The CAPER listed eight completed projects: installation of 45 ADA ramps in the Adams neighborhood; sidewalk construction on 300 South and 500 East; infrared‑activated pedestrian beacon signs at two crossings (one at First West in front of the recreation center and another near Logan High); 500 West street improvements including new asphalt and curb and gutter; an 8‑foot multi‑use path around Lundstrom Park; a public mural (Merlin Olsen Wildlife Mural) in the 200 East underpass; a new double‑deck convection oven for Sunshine Terrace long‑term care to meet residents’ dietary needs; and emergency home repairs performed through the Bragg program.
After the presentation the council moved and approved the CAPER by voice vote. Staff noted the CDBG and the related projects are administered through the city’s Community Development Block Grant committee and implemented by city departments and local nonprofit partners.
Why it matters: The CAPER is the annual report HUD requires to document how CDBG funds were used to advance local consolidated‑plan goals. The completed projects included pedestrian and park infrastructure, accessibility improvements, public art and targeted household supports.
