COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Borough of Gettysburg will conduct a public participation meeting on Monday, August 22nd 2022 at 6:15 PM at a special meeting of the Borough Council, in order to discuss community needs for funding under the fiscal year 2022 State Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. This meeting’s purpose is to solicit citizen input on possible activities to be included in these applications, as well as past performance. The meeting will be held at the Gettysburg Municipal Building, 59 East High Street, Troxell Council Chambers, Gettysburg, PA 17325
Gettysburg Borough will receive an allocation of $129,094 in FY2022 CDBG funds from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Gettysburg Borough’s CDBG funds may be used to benefit a variety of activities including water and sewer systems, streets, housing rehabilitation, emergency housing assistance, recreation and community facilities, new public services, historic preservation, removal of architectural barriers, blight removal, economic development, and administration and planning. The Borough must demonstrate that approved projects:
(1) benefit low to moderate income persons,
(2) remove slums or blight, or
(3) meet an urgent community need.
The Borough anticipates submitting an application through the County of Adams under the State FY2022 Entitlement CDBG Program. It is anticipated that no less than 70% of the approved grant funds will benefit low to moderate income persons. Further, it is anticipated that none of the proposed activities will result in temporary or permanent displacement of any households. However, in the event that displacement should occur, the Borough’s policy for minimizing such displacement would be in effect. Gettysburg Borough is responsible for replacing all low and moderate income housing units that may be demolished or converted as a result of the use of CDBG funds.
The purpose of this public hearing is to give citizens an opportunity to make their comments known regarding what types of eligible activities Gettysburg Borough should apply for under the State CDBG programs. A separate public meeting will be held September 12, 2022, to approve the final application and budget allocation amounts.
Anyone requiring special accommodations to participate in the public hearing, or anyone with limited English language proficiency requiring translation services, should contact Sara Stull, Assistant Borough Manager, by phone at (717) 334-1160 x240 or by email at sstull@gettysburgpa.gov by Wednesday, Monday, August 22nd 2022.
