Public Hearing Regarding Use of CDBG Funds

The Town of Colorado City is expected to receive approximately $354,122 in federal CDBG funds and potentially up to $300,000 in State Special Project funds beginning July 1. CDBG funds must be used to benefit low-income persons and areas, alleviate slum and blight or address urgent need. A public hearing will be held at 7:15 p.m. on February 14, 2005 at the Colorado City Town Hall, 25 South Central Street, Colorado City Arizona, to gather citizen input on the use of the CDBG funds.

Examples of possible uses include the following:
  • Public Infrastructure such as street paving or improvements to the water or sewer system
  • Community Facilities such as a park, health clinic, library, or a senior or youth center
  • Public Services, for example, equipment or rent to provide job training or to purchase a van for transport of disabled persons
  • Economic Development, such as creating a loan fund for business and job creation
These are examples of activities for which the Town of Colorado City can use federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds if the project primarily benefits low and moderate income persons, reduces slums or blight, or meets an urgent need or health hazard.

PLEASE COME TO ONE OR BOTH OF THE PUBLIC HEARINGS LISTED BELOW TO DISCUSS COMMUNITY NEEDS AND POSSIBLE PROJECTS
