County readies CDBG‑DR and infrastructure applications, including Swannanoa sidewalks
Summary
Buncombe County staff said CDBG‑DR commercial‑district and infrastructure NOFOs are open or opening, and that combined funding streams could support sidewalks and greenway work in Swannanoa; staff urged coordinated public hearings and noted short windows for applications.
County staff discussed several HUD and state funding windows that the county is pursuing for Swannanoa recovery projects, including Commercial District Revitalization (CDR) and infrastructure funding under the CDBG‑DR umbrella. "The infrastructure will be the NOFO... there's a funding opportunity that will open on July 6," the recovery officer said, noting an eight‑week application window for the infrastructure round.
Staff outlined a nearly $1 million sidewalk award already in Beacon Village and described a larger capital stack that could bring the sidewalk program to a multi‑million‑dollar scale when combined with other funding sources. The county also said it is packaging commercial‑district remediation applications to leverage code compliance and demolition funding for unsafe properties and will hold public hearings to solicit final input before submitting final CDBG‑DR packets.
