Huachuca City hears ideas for ~$516,000 CDBG regional award; SEAGO urges shovel-ready planning
Summary
At a March 21 public hearing, SEAGO staff explained that Huachuca City is expected to be eligible for about $516,000 in FY2026 CDBG regional-account funds and invited residents to submit projects (infrastructure, facilities, housing, services) for the town's required project list.
SEAGO consultant William Osborne told the Town of Huachuca City on March 21 that the town is expected to receive approximately $516,000 in FY2026 in Community Development Block Grant regional-account funds administered through the Arizona Department of Housing (ADOH). He described eligible uses—"public infrastructure (e.g., water, wastewater, street improvements); community facilities; housing; public services; and economic development"—and said SEAGO will provide technical assistance and help prepare the application.
Osborne urged the council and residents to identify a single implementation project for the regional account and recommended using State Special Projects (SSP) grants for planning and engineering so a larger project will be shovel-ready. "If you want to get the most bang for our buck, we need to choose a project that is gonna cost that, because otherwise that money goes back," Mayor Johann Wallace said as he summarized the options. The council will use the hearing minutes to assemble a resolution listing candidate projects for future application rounds.
