Council adopts CDBG application and blight-determination resolutions
Summary
Council adopted Resolution No. 777 to pursue Allegheny County CDBG funds and Resolution No. 778 to declare structures blighted for demolition under ACT 152; applications are due in December and funds typically arrive the following summer.
On Oct. 27 the council adopted two resolutions related to blight remediation and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding.
Resolution No. 777 designates the Borough Manager as the official to file applications and related documents with Allegheny County for CDBG funds to demolish blighted or abandoned property. Borough Engineer J. Stanton said applications are due in December and that funds are usually available in June or July of the following year.
Resolution No. 778 is a Determination and Declaration identifying structures as blighted and scheduled for demolition through ACT 152. Council voted to adopt Res. 777 (motion by D. Swisher; second by D. Seiler) and Res. 778 (motion by D. Seiler; second by J. Emph); both motions carried unanimously. Stanton noted property owners may still remediate properties before funds are allocated if they bring structures into compliance.
