Bland County adopts CDBG compliance plans for dental clinic, approves $10,489 for mobile health units
Summary
The board adopted required compliance plans for a Community Development Block Grant to support a dental clinic and appropriated $10,489 to Mount Rogers Health District to fund two mobile health units.
The Bland County Board of Supervisors adopted a suite of compliance and civil-rights documents March 26 to support a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application for a dental clinic. The adopted items include the Section 3 Business and Employment Plan, a Non-Discrimination Policy, Section 504 self-evaluation and grievance procedures, an Anti-Displacement Plan, and a Fair Housing Certification.
The motion to adopt those documents was made by Randy Johnson and seconded by Stephen Kelley; the board approved the measures unanimously. The board also voted to appropriate $10,489 to the Mount Rogers Health District to support two mobile health units; that appropriation passed by roll call with all supervisors voting yea.
The adopted plans are standard requirements for CDBG-funded projects and set the county’s compliance obligations related to non-discrimination, accessibility under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and protections against displacement. The mobile units appropriation is intended to support expanded local access to health services; the transcript does not detail the Mount Rogers Health District’s planned schedule or service locations.
