The Town of Union Board on Jan. 15 authorized two 30-day public comment periods beginning Jan. 16, 2025 and scheduled a public hearing on Feb. 26, 2025 to solicit input on proposed amendments to the FFY 2024–2025 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Annual Action Plan.
Under the first amendment the board proposes reallocating unallocated CDBG funds ($250,000) into Home Improvement ($50,000), Demolition ($25,000), Administrative activities ($25,000) and Grand Ave Phase 8 & 9 street reconstruction (IDIS #1788) ($600,000). Under a second amendment the board proposes moving $50,000 of unallocated funds toward Village of Endicott paving/street reconstruction (IDIS #1790) with an associated $300,000 line item.
The Planning Director was also authorized to submit the 2024 Section Eight Management Assessment Program (SEMAP) certification to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and the board approved the Planning Director, Supervisor or Deputy Supervisor to execute any documents necessary for the 2024 SEMAP submission. The SEMAP submission deadline listed in the agenda materials is Feb. 1, 2025. All motions on these items were moved by Councilman David Kudgus and seconded by Councilman Frank J. Bertoni and were adopted unanimously.
The board’s action opens a formal public-comment window and sets the Feb. 26 hearing as the next opportunity for residents to weigh in; the final allocations will be made after the public comment period and any required board votes.
