The Community Development Block Grant program was established to assist communities in providing essential community facilities, providing decent housing for residents, promoting economic development, and maintaining a suitable living environment.
The state estimates that $8 million will be appropriated for this funding cycle to be distributed statewide on a competitive basis.
State and national objectives of the CDBG program require that projects benefit persons of low or moderate income, aid in the prevention and elimination of slum and blight, or address serious and immediate threats to the health and welfare of the community where other financial resources are not available.
The meetings are set for this Thursday, January 9th, at 5 p.m. and Friday, January 10th, at 9 a.m., noon and 3 p.m. in the Luna County Courthouse, 700 S. Silver Avenue.
