PUBLIC HEARING YES: NO: x <br /> ATTACHMENT(S) : INFORMATION CONTACT: Tara L. Fikes <br /> TELEPHONE NUMBER- <br /> Hillsborough - 732-8181 <br /> Chapel Hill - 968-4501 <br /> Mebane - 227-2031 <br /> Durham - 688-7331 <br /> PURPOSE: To establish public hearing dates to receive citizen <br /> comments regarding development of a 1993 Community <br /> Development Block Grant Application. <br /> BACKGROUND: The N.C. Department of Commerce (DEC) has announced the <br /> availability of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) <br /> funds to local governments. Applications are due May 28, <br /> 1993 and a locality may apply for up to $600, 000 in <br /> funding. Last year the County submitted an unsuccessful <br /> CDBG application for a neighborhood in the Efland <br /> community. <br /> Further, DEC requires potential applicants to conduct a <br /> public hearing to obtain citizen's comments regarding <br /> potential community development target areas at the <br /> beginning of the application process. Applicants are also <br /> required to conduct a public hearing after the application <br /> has been drafted in order to receive additional comments <br /> prior to application submission. <br /> Therefore, the Housing and Community Development staff is <br /> requesting that April 20, 1993 and May 18, 1993 be <br /> established as the public hearing dates to receive citizen <br /> comments as described above. Notices will be published in <br /> the appropriate news media to encourage community-wide <br /> participation. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S) : <br /> The Manager recommends establishing April 20, 1993 and May <br /> 18, 1993 as public hearing dates to receive citizen <br /> comments regarding the development of a 1993 Community <br /> Development Block Grant Application. <br />
