Body
Item Summary:
This Public Hearing is to consider the formulation of the 2012 CDBG Action Plan for the City of Roswell, Georgia as required by Section 104 (a)(3) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, and Federal Regulation 24 CFR 91.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires CDBG recipient governments to hold two public hearings and a thirty (30) day public comment period. This hearing is the first, which is required to be held before the Consolidated Annual Action Plan is drafted.
The 2012 Action Plan identifies how the CDBG federal funds will be utilized to develop viable communities. Citizen input regarding the use of federal funds received annually from HUD is vital; therefore, in addition to the public meetings and hearings, a thirty (30) day comment period commenced June 8, 2011 and will conclude on July 8, 2011. A second thirty (30) day comment period will commence August 29, 2011 and will conclude on September 28, 2011. Roswell's CDBG Program begins January 1, 2012 and ends December 31, 2012.
Committee or Staff Recommendation:
