To <br />authorize execution of the Development Agreement with <br />Habitat for Humanity. <br />BACKGROUND: Since the County was awarded a Preliminary Housing <br />Development Grant award for $175,000 for road <br />construction /paving in the Chestnut Oaks subdivision, much <br />progress has taken place. Therefore, the staff wishes to <br />advise the Board of Commissioners of the current status of <br />the subdivision development and the related grant program. <br />Additionally, as a grant condition, the N.C. Department of <br />Economic and Community Development (DECD) requires that an <br />environmental assessment be conducted in each CDBG project <br />area. This assessment is done to determine whether CDBG <br />activities will have a significant environmental impact in <br />the project area. <br />An environmental assessment was conducted which found that <br />proposed CDBG activities would have no significant <br />environmental impact on the community. The findings of this <br />assessment is recorded in the attached Environmental Review <br />Record (ERR). This document must be approved by the Board <br />and executed by the Chief Elected Official before <br />submission to DECD. <br />
