Summary
County staff outlined eligibility and deadlines for the State of Utah CDBG small‑city program (Summit/Wasatch 2026 allocation ~ $635,000); no citizens spoke during the required public hearing and the hearing was closed.
Amy, covering the public hearing for absent staff, told the Summit County Council that the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) small‑city program is administered by the State of Utah Housing and Community Development Division through the Department of Workforce Services and that Summit and Wasatch counties’ 2026 combined allocation is approximately $635,000. Applications are due online on 2026‑01‑31 and attendance at the mandatory Oct. 6 workshop in Heber City was required for applicant eligibility; elected‑official attendance at the workshop yields bonus points on applications, Amy said.
The hearing was opened for public comment but no members of the public appeared in person or online. Chair Roger Armstrong closed the public hearing after confirming there were no raised hands or participants wishing to speak. "The purpose of this public hearing is to gather feedback from the community on what projects they see as a need and a potentially a good fit for the CDBG," Amy said during her presentation.
The council did not take any formal action at the hearing; staff will accept and process applications according to state deadlines and program requirements. The absence of public presenters means there is no record in this meeting of community project proposals or objections related to the CDBG allocation; applicants must still meet the state's program criteria to be considered.
