At a public hearing, Gregory STC described the competitive process for a Community Development Block Grant of up to $1,000,000; no public comments were offered and GMC is preparing a concept for the Crosstown target area.
Tyler Gregory of Gregory STC presented a potential Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application the council is considering and described the process as "a competitive grant." The public hearing to consider applying for up to $1,000,000 opened at 6:31 p.m.; no members of the public offered comment before the hearing closed at 6:52 p.m.
Charles Welch of GMC, the city’s engineering consultant on the project, said staff and consultants are developing a concept for the Crosstown target area to ensure the application focuses on the most-needed low‑and moderate‑income (low‑mod) neighborhood. The minutes record that the application would be to the Georgia Department of Community Affairs and that the funding must primarily benefit low‑ and moderate‑income persons.
