Community Development Block Grants Available to Improve Low and Moderate Income Neighborhoods

The federal government provides Community Development Block Grants to communities to help them improve low and moderate income neighborhoods. These grants can be used for park improvements, drainage and road improvements, sidewalks and other capital improvements in low and moderate income neighborhoods.

In District 2, we have recently used these grants for park improvements at Grandview Park and to re-design and resurface the tennis courts at Memorial Park. If you have any projects that you would like considered, you can find more information on the Community Development Department's website. Project requests are due November 13, 2009.
