BACKGROUND: The N.C. Department of Economic and Community Development has announced the availability of Community Development (CDBG) funds for Community Revitalization projects. The maximum amount of funding available is $1,000,000 and applications are due on May 15, 1992. A public hearing was held on March 9, 1992 to allow citizen comments regarding community development needs in the County. During this hearing, residents of the Efland community expressed their need for CDBG funding to address their housing and water /sewer needs. Based on information received during the hearing and a preliminary assessment of the needs in this area, County staff is proposing to prepare a CDBG application for an area of Efland with the highest magnitude of community development needs. Additionally, the State will require a second public hearing after the application has been prepared to allow for additional public comment on the final application document. Staff recommends setting this public hearing date for May 4, 1992. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends: 1. Adopting a resolution authorizing the submission of a FY92 Small Cities CDBG Application for the Efland community. 2. Setting May 4, 1992 as the public hearing date to receive citizen comments regarding the application document.
