BACKGROUND:
The Annual Action Plan (AAP) outlines how Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds will be spent in a Program Year and how these projects meet the objectives of the CDBG program and the Consolidated Plan.
The City Council adopted the CDBG Program Year 2018 (AAP) on March 6, 2018, following a required 30-day public comment period and public hearing. The Program Year 2018 awards were based on an estimated allocation of $425,000 plus approximately $52,000 in prior year rollover funds, for a total estimated CDBG budget of $476,617.
