Public Hearing Regarding the Use of CDBG Funds on April 18
The city of Apache Junction will hold a public hearing on April 18 regarding an expected $150,000 in federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds that the city will receive from the Arizona Department of Housing regional account for the fiscal year ending June 30.
The city may also apply for up to $300,000 in additional CDBG funds for the current fiscal year from the State Special Projects account. CDBG funds must be used to benefit low-income persons and areas, alleviate slum and blight or address urgent need. Based on citizen input as well as local and state planning objectives, several potential projects have been selected to be forwarded to the state of Arizona with a request for funding.
A public hearing will be held at the regular City Council meeting at 7 p.m. on April 18, at the Apache Junction City Council Chambers, 300 E. Superstition Blvd., to discuss the potential projects. It is expected that the City Council will select the final projects at this hearing and adopt applicable resolutions.
The potential CDBG projects:
- Sidewalk design and improvements in the Grand View neighborhood serving 1,070 residents of which 71% are low to moderate income;
- Housing rehabilitation and emergency repair serving low to moderate income residents; and/or
- Public services serving residents under the limited clientele objective.
