NOTICE OF FIRST PUBLIC HEARING

MCKEAN TOWNSHIP

FY 2018 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM (CDBG)

Notice is hereby given that the first of two required public hearings regarding McKean Township's FY 2018 CDBG program will be held at 3:00 PM on Monday, August 27, 2018, at the McKean Township Municipal Bldg., 9231 Edinboro Road, McKean, PA 16426.  Items to be discussed include a brief summary of the CDBG program, a review of the Township's current Three Year CDBG Plan, and discussion of the Township's community development and housing needs which could potentially be addressed with CDBG monies.

The Township is entitled to apply for and receive an annual allocation of CDBG funds from the PA DCED pursuant to PA ACT 179 of 1984 and since 1985 has received approximately $3.4 million in CDBG funding. 

The PA DCED has informed the township that its FY 2018 allocation is $92,4111 which is $7,020 or 8.22% more than last year's grant of $85,391.  The County on behalf of the Township will submit an application requesting the funding by November 2, 2018.

CDBG funds can be used to undertake a wide range of "eligible" activities, including, but not limited to: water, sanitary sewer and storm sewer construction; street reconstruction; curb and sidewalk replacement; recreation/park improvements; handicapped accessibility improvements; single family/rental housing rehabilitation; first-time homebuyer assistance; fair housing activities; and administration/planning. It is noted that McKean Township would be responsible for replacing all low and moderate income housing units that may be demolished or converted as a result of CDBG funded activity. The Township does not anticipate the demolition or conversion of any housing units.

Eligible activities must meet one of three National Objectives: 1) principally benefit low-to-moderate income persons, 2) aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight; or 3) meet a need having a particular urgency. It is noted that the primary objective of the CDBG program is to "principally benefit low-to-moderate income persons" and at least 70% of the funds must be allocated for this purpose.

All interested persons are encouraged to attend the hearing.  Those who are unable to attend but would like to comment may do so by contacting the Erie County Department of Planning (ECDP), 150 East Front Street, Suite 300, Erie, PA 16507 / Phone: (814) 451-7330 / Fax: (814) 451-7333 / email: jberdis@eriecountypa.gov Comments will be accepted until 1:00 PM the day of the hearing.
