Lorain County approves CDBG PY25 application; allocates funds for North Ridgeville, Sheffield Lake and local services
Summary
The Board approved submission of a Consolidated CDBG PY25 application that seeks $648,000 in CDBG allocation and $750,000 for critical infrastructure, with specific project allocations for North Ridgeville and Sheffield Lake and funding for local public services.
The Lorain County Board of Commissioners approved submission of a Consolidated CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) PY25 application to the Ohio Department of Development that requests $648,000 in CDBG allocation funds and $750,000 for CDBG critical infrastructure programs.
Under the application, commissioners recorded project allocations that include $500,000 in critical-infrastructure funding proposed for the city of North Ridgeville and $250,000 proposed for the city of Sheffield Lake. The PY25 community development allocation list included an array of projects the county plans to submit, including a public-service activity for Neighborhood Alliance's meal-on-wheels program ($97,200), a Sheffield Lake sewer-line improvement project (phase 1, $251,200), and a North Ridgeville waterline replacement project (phase 1, amounts discussed in the application). Other items on the application list included a Neighborhood Alliance shelter playground installation ($50,000), a fair-housing program ($23,000), and general administration ($106,600).
Commissioners discussed administrative fees associated with the CDBG allocation. A staff member told the board the fee had been deducted from the total and that it may be about 12 percent; a commissioner asked staff to provide the exact dollar amount after the meeting. The board voted to move forward with the application submission.
County staff said the critical-infrastructure portion of the request totaled $750,000 and listed how the funds would be split between municipalities. Commissioners approved the application by voice vote and recorded no dissent in the transcript.
