Committee recommends town council approve 2026 CDBG annual action plan
Summary
The committee voted to forward the town's 2026 Community Development Block Grant annual action plan to council; the plan focuses on completing park projects this year and staff will research additional eligible uses such as job training and economic development.
Town staff presented the 2026 annual action plan required for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development CDBG entitlement program, describing it as the second‑year action plan under the town's 2025–2029 consolidated plan.
Staff said available 2026 funds are earmarked to finish park projects (Taylor and Patterson) and that the town will continue to explore other eligible uses for future CDBG allocations, including economic development and job training. The committee discussed public comment and confirmed that staff will update the plan with submitted comments prior to final council consideration.
Motion and next steps
A committee member moved and the committee seconded a recommendation that town council adopt the 2026 annual action plan. The committee asked staff to continue outreach and to capture public feedback, noting possibilities for future eligible activities such as lateral sewer connections and other community needs.
The recommendation will be forwarded to the full council for final approval as part of the town's CDBG entitlement obligations.
