CDBG Block Grant:
Our community benefits from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, which provides federal funding to support local revitalization efforts. Key information includes:
  • Funding Allocation: Annual distribution of funds to support various projects.
  • Priority Areas: Focus on housing rehabilitation, infrastructure improvements, and public services.
  • Progress & Impact: Metrics on project completion, community engagement, and measurable improvements.
By utilizing CDBG funding, we aim to address community needs, reduce disparities, and promote equitable growth. We encourage residents to stay informed about ongoing projects and participate actively in community development.
