CDBG FIRST PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE
The Hendry County Board of County Commissioners is considering applying to the Florida Department of Commerce for a FFY 2023-2024 Small Cities Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). The County is eligible to apply for up to $900,000.00 in the neighborhood revitalization, commercial revitalization and housing rehabilitation categories and up to $5,000,000.00 in the economic development category. Construction activities funded through the CDBG Program must meet one of the following National Objectives:
Provide benefit to low- and moderate-income persons;
Prevent or eliminate slum or blight conditions; or
Meet a need of recent origin having a particular urgency.
The types of activities that CDBG funds may be used for include constructing stormwater ponds, paving roads and sidewalks, installing sewer and water lines, building a community center or park, making improvements to a sewage treatment plant, and rehabilitating low-income homes. Additional information regarding the range of activities that could be funded will be provided at the public hearing.
In developing a CDBG application, Hendry County must plan to minimize displacement of persons as a result of the activities. In addition, Hendry County is required to develop a plan to assist displaced persons.
A public hearing to obtain citizen comment concerning the County’s economic and community development needs will be held at the Hendry County Courthouse, Commission Chambers, 25 East Hickpochee Avenue, LaBelle, Florida, on April 22, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. For information concerning the public hearing, contact Shari Howell, Hendry County Grants Coordinator, at (863) 675-5264 or by e-mail at shari.howell@hendryfla.net.
