Testimony received at this hearing regarding community needs and how the proposed projects best address the priorities of the Consolidated Plan, along with the Housing and Human Services Advisory Committee recommendations, will be forwarded to the City Council for consideration. 

The City Council will hold a public hearing on April 15, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers at 1155 E. Main St. to make the final awards, and to direct Staff to complete the 2025 Annual CDBG Action Plan to incorporate the project(s) selection.
