Chester County moves to apply for small-city grant, designate officer under Housing and Community Development Act
Summary
Officials read a draft resolution to apply for a small-city community development grant and to designate an official to administer the award under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974; commissioners were asked for a motion to approve the application but a formal vote or outcome is not recorded in the transcript.
A staff member presented a draft resolution asking Chester County commissioners to approve an application for a small-city community development grant and to designate an official to administer the award under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended.
The resolution described the grant as intended “for the purpose of performing eligible health and safety activities” and noted that Chester County is eligible to apply and eligible for a 4% discount toward the loan-match requirement. The presenter said the county must approve the application now to be able to apply and, if awarded, that the grant award and procurement of related equipment might not occur until 2027 or 2028.
The presenter asked for a motion and a second to approve submission of the application and the designation of an administering officer. The transcript records a short affirmative reply later, but it does not record a formal motion text, the names of a mover or seconder, or a complete vote tally.
No further details on the proposed grant amount, the exact program name (the transcript used the acronym “CDDG”), or the identity of the officer to be designated were recorded in the provided transcript segments. The presenter also stated the application shows a maximum amount but did not provide that figure in the recorded excerpt.
Next steps cited in the discussion: preparing and submitting the application now so the county will be eligible if selected; if awarded, subsequent procurement and implementation steps would follow but timing was described as uncertain.
