NOTICE: Community Block Grant

 As part of our Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, the City recently received approval of a Section 108 Loan Assistance Guarantee from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The loan will be used for the construction of approximately 12,045 linear feet of new sidewalks in six of the City’s designated Special Emphasis Neighborhoods.  As a requirement of the HUD Section 108 loan program, an environmental review of the sidewalk projects was required.

The environmental assessment has been completed and has determined that the sidewalk projects will not result in a significant impact on the quality of human environment, that there are no adverse environmental impacts associated with the construction of the proposed sidewalks and hence no mitigation measures will be required. The City is issuing this notice to receive public comments on of our finding of no significant impact and our intent to request HUD to release the federal funds for the construction of the sidewalk improvements.
