Consultants outline CDBG application process to Caro council
Summary
Consultants from Revitalize LLC and Ransford Wasik LLC presented the Community Development Block Grant application process and outlined responsibilities for the council and city manager; council discussion focused on next steps and project readiness.
Bruce Johnston and Reece Burton of Revitalize LLC and Mark Ransford of Ransford Wasik LLC presented to the City of Caro Committee of the Whole on the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application process and what will be required of both the council and the city manager to prepare and administer an application.
The presenters explained the general steps and administrative responsibilities for a CDBG filing and outlined materials the city would need to provide. City Manager Scott Czasak participated in the subsequent discussion about local responsibilities and potential timelines. Council members asked questions about the application process and how projects would be vetted, but no formal decision or vote was recorded.
Why it matters: CDBG awards can provide federal funding for housing, infrastructure or community facilities; the presentation was positioned as an early step to determine whether the city will pursue a grant and which projects might be eligible. The council did not take a formal vote at this meeting and directed staff to continue staff-level work on the application process.
Next steps: Councilors were asked to bring project ideas to the first budget workshop and staff will follow up on application requirements; no application deadline or funding amount was specified in the meeting record.
