The Jamestown Department of Development is looking for community input on how to use $1.4 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The City of Jamestown is designated as a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement community and receives annually grant funding to support housing and community development initiatives. To receive this funding, the City is required to submit a Consolidated Plan that outlines community needs and priorities for the use of grant funds.
The City has been awarded $1,105,265 in CDBG funds and $313,259 in HOME Investment Partnership Program funds.
There are two upcoming public meetings to get input on the use of funds. The first is at 10:00 a.m., Saturday, June 14 at Jackson-Taylor Park. The second will be held at 5:30 p.m., Tuesday, June 24 at Lillian Dickson Park.
A community survey is also available on the City’s website https://www.jamestownny.gov/department-of-development/annual-action-plan/ and can be filled out in the Department of Development’s office on the fourth floor of City Hall.
A public hearing will be held at 6:45 p.m., Monday, June 30 before the City Council Voting Session.
Public comments may also be submitted via email, in person, or by mail to:
