Mecklenburg wins $1.25M CDBG for Oak/Surface Road rehab; $150K Safe Streets study funded
Summary
The Board learned Mecklenburg County received a $1.25 million CDBG housing rehabilitation award for Oak Road/Surface Road and a $150,000 Safe Streets for All grant to study safety improvements on the secondary road network.
Alex Gottschalk told the Board that the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development awarded Mecklenburg a $1.25 million Community Development Block Grant for housing rehabilitation in the Oak Road and Surface Road area (Election District 5). Limited initial planning may begin in the current fiscal year with most construction expected next fiscal year.
Gottschalk also said the county received a U.S. Department of Transportation Safe Streets for All grant worth $150,000 (80% federal, 20% local match) to fund a safety study of the secondary road network to evaluate pedestrian, bicycle and traffic improvements. The study will be initiated once contractual details with U.S. DOT are complete. Both awards were informational to the Board at this meeting; staff will return with implementation timing and match details as planning advances.
