Town of Hurley Public Hearing
2017-03-07 16:00 (America/Denver) | Hurley Town Hall
The purpose of this meeting will be to report on past CDBG program activities and to discuss and to solicit input on possible CDBG applications. The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program was established under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, in order to assist communities in providing essential community facilities, providing decent housing for residents, promoting economic development and maintaining a suitable living environment. The State of New Mexico estimates that approximately $10,000,000 will be appropriated for the 2017 funding cycle to be distributed statewide on a competitive basis. State and national objectives of the CDBG Program require that assistance be made available for activities that address at lest one of the following: 1) An activity identified and principally benefiting persons of low and moderate income; 2) Aid in the prevention and elimination of slum and blight; 3) Meet other community development needs of recent origin having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health and welfare of the community where other financial resources are not available to meet such needs. Applications are limited to a maximum of $750,000, except for planning applications which have a limit of $50,000. Those unable to attend the meeting may send written comments to: CDBG Grant Program Requests; Town of Hurley; P.O. Box 65; Hurley, NM 88043
