Public Hearings Regarding the Use of CDBG Funds
APACHE JUNCTION – The city of Apache Junction is expected to receive $59,000 in fiscal year 2020-2021 federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the Arizona Department of Housing Regional Account. The city may also apply for up to $300,000 in CDBG funds 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 June 15 at the Apache Junction City Council Chambers located at 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 are named and described as follows:
- Infrastructure improvements including sidewalks, curb and gutter, drainage, and water lines improvements in Grand View neighborhood serving 1,070 residents of which 71.03% are low to moderate income; and/or
- Owner Occupied Housing Rehabilitation or Emergency Repair serving low to moderate income residents.
