County schedules Jan. 29 public hearing on CDBG childcare project in lower Rochester
Summary
Commissioners set a required midpoint public hearing for a $600,000 CDBG‑funded lower Rochester childcare project for Jan. 29; staff said about $300,000 has been spent to date and the project remains underway.
County grant administrator Donna Lane informed the commissioners that the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) project to renovate space for a lower Rochester childcare center is about halfway through its grant cycle and requires a publicly noticed progress hearing. Commissioners scheduled a county meeting at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 29 and a public hearing at 5 p.m. the same day to satisfy grant notice requirements.
Staff said the project is a roughly $600,000 undertaking and that approximately $300,000 has been spent so far; the boiler has been installed and some electrical work remains. The hearing is a required transparency step that gives the public an update on project progress and spending.
A member of the public on the call urged the commission to schedule hearings at hours convenient for people who work 9‑5; commissioners agreed to set the 5 p.m. public hearing window to allow broader public participation. Staff will place the legal notice in the newspaper to meet grant publication timing.
