If you’re reading from the vicinity of the S. Ellen Jones Neighborhood Association, Ted Fulmore’s S. Ellen Jones Forum may be of interest to you.
The purpose of this web log is to create a place where a constant exchange of ideas and creativity can take place about our neighborhood. Not everyone can attend our monthly meetings, so this site will serve as our other meeting place.
Yesterday, Ted used the forum to provide information that may be of interest to many New Albanians:
CDBG Planning for New Albany: Tuesday, February 14 – 7pm, Assembly Room 331 City-County Building
The staff of the redevelopment Commission shall conduct a public meeting concerning the nature of the Community Development Block Grant program; eligible and ineligible activities; programs areas and activities, as well as to discuss CDBG and its uses.
In short, funding's reduced, but the program is intact.
NA Confidential can't make tonight's CDBG meeting; if you can, and come back with a report, please use the comments section to provide it.
The comments above sum up the meeting well. There were some helpful handouts given at the meeting. Anyone interested in gettin copies should contact the Redevelopment Commission.
ReplyDeleteThere is a plan to spend the funds. If you (or a group) believes that plan should be changed, the meeting on the 14th is your chance to make that request.
