WHEREAS, the State-Administered Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program has operated since 1982 to provide local governments with the resources required to meet the needs of persons of low and moderate income; and,
WHEREAS, the State-Administered Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program has had a significant impact on our local economy through job creation and retention, public infrastructure improvements, and improved housing; and,
