Council reviews CDBG 2026 funding recommendations totaling $550,000
Summary
City staff proposed a $550,000 Community Development Block Grant annual action plan allotting $198,000 for ADA ramps in LMI areas, $130,000 for land acquisition for two affordable homes, $62,000 to the Cache County Senior Center for meals, and smaller awards for murals and facility updates.
Amanda Pierce presented the city’s draft 2026 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) annual action plan at the April 7 council workshop, proposing an estimated $550,000 in projects focused on low‑ and moderate‑income (LMI) neighborhoods.
Pierce said the funding goals are to invest 60% of annual funding toward neighborhood infrastructure in eligible LMI areas and to prioritize accessibility remediation, with 20% toward public facilities/services and 20% toward administration and planning. Her recommended allocations included:
- $198,000 for citywide ADA curb ramp installation in LMI areas. - $130,000 to the Community Development Corporation of Utah for land acquisition to enable development of up to two single‑family homes to be sold to LMI households (nonprofit retains land; equity growth capped at 1.5% per year to preserve affordability, per the applicant's model). - $62,000 to the Cache County Senior Center to purchase food and support roughly 22,000 meals benefiting an estimated 375 Logan seniors. - $29,000 to Sunshine Terrace for interior painting and flooring replacement benefiting about 65 residents. - $20,000 for vinyl murals on four existing bus shelters to enhance public facilities.
Council members asked about deed restrictions and property‑tax implications of the land‑trust model; staff explained the nonprofit land trust retains land ownership, caps equity growth and that tax treatment can vary depending on ownership and use. Pierce confirmed some projects included matching funds, and that the CDCU project indicated the proposal remained feasible at the recommended $130,000 award.
What happens next: staff will return with any necessary clarifications and the formal resolution for the council to consider ratifying the CDBG annual action plan.
