Council authorizes application for downtown revitalization CDBG with $20,000 local match
Summary
The council authorized submission of a downtown revitalization application to the Texas Department of Agriculture through the CDBG program, designating downtown boundaries and proposing a $20,000 local match; staff said awards can be up to $1 million and a specific project will be selected if the grant is awarded.
Staff presented a resolution authorizing the city to submit an application to the Texas Department of Agriculture's downtown revitalization program through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The resolution designates downtown district boundaries for the application and includes a proposed local match of $20,000 (the minimum described in the record).
Staff said Navasota has participated in the program previously and that awards can be up to $1 million; a specific project was not yet selected, and staff will identify an eligible project if the grant is awarded to best align with program eligibility and community priorities. Council approved resolution 829‑26 unanimously, allowing staff to submit the application and compete for funding.
The record shows the local match figure presented is a minimum placeholder to enable submission; staff will return with a project proposal if the city receives an award.
