Town of Huntersville issued the following announcement on Mar. 10.
Mecklenburg County would like your participation in the review of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan Substantial Amendment #1, and the 2020-2024 Citizen Participation Plan Amendment #2 for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program.
The 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan Substantial Amendment #1 will be amended to reflect the addition of Mint Hill to the Mecklenburg County CDBG Consortium as additional participating jurisdiction; additionally, the allocation of the remaining CDBG-CV1 funds ($180,312) along with CDBG-CV3 funds ($857,608) to fund the County’s general program administration costs and county-wide mortgage relief assistance program as a CDBG program eligible public service activity connected to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 2020-2024 Citizen Participation Plan will be amended to reflect a change for the use of CDBG funds for existing projects from a 20% to a 50% increase or decrease of the total project budget to reduce the frequency of subjecting new projects to lengthy Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan amendment processes, which have previously resulted in and are projected to result in significant delays in initiating new projects, thus hindering the County’s ability to serve beneficiaries through eligible activities and spend CDBG funds in a timely manner.
The 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan Substantial Amendment #1, and the 2020-2024 Citizen Participation Plan Amendment #2 will be available for public review and comment for a thirty-day period beginning on February 11, 2022 and ending March 13, 2022. Copies of these documents can be accessed at www.MeckNC.Gov or at www.centralina.org.
