An applicant workshop will be held Friday, Jan. 29, 2016 at 9:30 a.m. in the Multi-Purpose Room of the Activity Center, 501 E Hopkins Street. The workshop will cover details of the application process, eligibility requirements, and compliance requirements for agencies that receive funding. All interested parties are invited to attend.

Eligible projects must satisfy national CDBG program objectives and address one or more of the established priority needs of housing, transportation, infrastructure improvements, public facilities, clearance, or public services. “Public Services” are programs operated by a government or non-profit agency that benefit low-to-moderate income individuals.
