County to mail CDBG demographic survey to Grantville Road area amid concerns about scams
Summary
Jefferson County’s Department of Development said it will mail a demographic survey on county letterhead to households on Grantville Road and surrounding areas as part of a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) project, and staff warned residents to watch for the county envelope amid scam concerns.
The Jefferson County Department of Development announced a demographic survey to households on Grantville Road and surrounding areas as part of a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) project. Department staff said the first correspondence will arrive on county letterhead in a county envelope and include a prepaid return envelope addressed to the county to protect confidentiality.
Department staff said the outreach is required for CDBG-funded projects and that staff may follow up by phone or door-to-door contact if necessary. The announcement emphasized that the survey will come from the county, that it will be on county letterhead and use a county return envelope to protect residents’ information.
Why it matters: CDBG demographic surveys collect household information required to assess eligibility and need for federally funded community development projects. The county’s notice aims to reduce resident confusion and prevent scams.
