Covington holds public hearing on 2026–2027 CDBG/HOME Annual Action Plan; brief public comment recorded
Summary
A public hearing on the 2026–2027 CDBG/HOME Annual Action Plan opened at 6:04 p.m. May 12 and concluded at 6:14 p.m.; the public comment window ran 6:14–6:17 p.m. The transcript records the hearing and public comment times but does not include the substance of comments.
The Covington Board of Commissioners convened a public hearing on May 12 for the 2026–2027 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Annual Action Plan. John Hammons, the city’s CDBG/HOME program coordinator, opened the hearing at 6:04 p.m.; the hearing closed at 6:14 p.m. He opened the floor to public comment, which the minutes record as running from 6:14 to 6:17 p.m., but the transcript does not capture the content of any comments.
The Annual Action Plan guides local allocation of federal CDBG and HOME funds for housing, community development and related activities. The transcript lists the public hearing and the presence of a legislative-update item by Representative Kimberly Moser on the agenda but does not include specific testimony, speaker remarks, or staff recommendations from the hearing text provided.
Because the transcript does not record the substance of public comments or staff presentations on program priorities and proposed allocations, the hearing record here is limited to the start and end times and the fact that public comment was received. Next procedural steps (such as formal adoption, amendments to the plan, or staff follow-up) are not specified in the transcript.
