Summary/Background:

 

The Town will hold a 2nd CDBG public hearing on October 7, 2019 for public input regarding potential economic development projects.  Two private entities have come forward and will be presenting their projects to Council.  Both entities meet the CDBG economic development application qualifications of a financial commitment of a 1:1 match to the grant request, putting one new employee to work for every $35,000 requested, and improving the community's economic base.  Though the Town has only had two private entities come forward, anyone who meets the requirements may come to the public hearing and present to Council.

 

The Resolution attached is part of the CDBG application requirements.  After Council selects the project, the blanks will be filled in on the Resolution.
