2018-2019 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN DRAFT FOR PUBLIC REVIEW
The Community Development Department is committed to making a significant difference in our community. As an entitlement grantee, we receive a formula grant on an annual basis from the Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant program.
We use those funds to make that difference in several different ways…
- Create Neighborhood Redevelopment Plans such as BaptistTown, Old Germantown District, Mechanicsville and Triplett Twist Neighborhood;
- Build and Reconstruct Streets, Sidewalks and make Other Public Improvements;
- Manage a Homebuyer Program that Constructs new homes that are sold to low to moderate income individuals and families (300 homes constructed and sold so far);
- Manage an Existing Homeowner Rehab Program that helps people make repairs to their homes (over 445 homes renovated so far);
- Create Partnerships with non profit and private Developers to expand the availability of affordable housing (over 220 rental units created);
- Administer the Historic Preservation and the Downtown Design Review Process;
- Assist developers thru the regulatory process in Downtown;
- Administer other special grants and projects.
