Council to pursue CDBG and housing rehabilitation grants totaling more than $1 million
Summary
Staff reported plans to pursue a Community Development Block Grant (up to $1 million) for sidewalks, lighting and greenspace and a housing rehabilitation grant (up to $850,000), plus county partnership funds; council authorized staff to move forward with applications.
City staff informed the council about competitive grant opportunities the city plans to pursue. Brian said the city will apply for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) opportunity up to $1 million intended for sidewalks, street lighting and greenspace, and a separate housing rehabilitation grant for homeowner-occupied properties up to $850,000; the county has contributed $6,000 toward a county-partnered housing rehabilitation program (HRAP) that complements city plans.
Council took the update and directed staff to proceed with applications; no city cash commitment was requested at the meeting for the CDBG application. Staff also reported an update that contractors were issued a new 10-day EPA notice delaying demolition work at 342 West 8 while compliance paperwork is completed.
