Council authorizes start of CDBG application process and schedules March 21 public hearing
Summary
Council directed staff to begin identifying projects for a HUD Community Development Block Grant application and scheduled a public hearing on March 21, 2026 at 1 p.m. at the Activity Center with buses offered for residents needing transportation.
Town Manager Suzanne Harvey explained the requirements for applying to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and requested direction to begin the application process. The CDBG program is a federal funding source that requires public engagement and a formal selection process for projects.
Council directed staff to begin identifying potential projects and to schedule necessary public hearings. The minutes record that the first public hearing will be held on March 21, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. at the Activity Center and that buses should be made available for residents who need transportation to attend. The motion to begin the process was moved by Johann R. Wallace and seconded by Cynthia Butterworth.
Staff will return with identified project proposals and a public engagement schedule; the motion directs preparation rather than committing specific funds or projects at this stage.
