Applicants will only be able to proceed to the application once the LOI has been approved by the County.

Required Public Participation | Public Hearing
- Municipalities must hold a public hearing to solicit project ideas PRIOR to submitting the application. The purpose of the hearing is to provide residents, particularly low- and moderate-income residents, an opportunity to suggest projects for CDBG funds. To ensure this requirement is met, municipalities should schedule a public hearing early in the application process. After the public hearing (at the same or subsequent meeting) the municipality must consider potential projects, select a project, and pass a resolution approving the application prior to submission. Applications submitted without a public hearing are ineligible and will be rejected.
- For joint applications, each municipality must hold a public hearing and pass a resolution.
- Municipalities are required to invite representatives from any proposed projects to the hearing.
- A copy of the public notice and authorizing resolution must be submitted with the application. The County has drafted a sample resolution for your convenience. However, the use of this resolution is not required.

Staff is available to provide technical assistance during the application process.
