The City of Davenport is hosting an opportunity for citizens to provide input on how we use federal block grant funds.
Each year, the City of Davenport receives approximately $1 million in Community Development Block Grant funding from the federal government. Davenport is currently gathering input for its next five year plan, which will run from 2020-2024.
The funding can be used by cities to address a variety of needs, but those needs must meet one of the four CDBG National Objectives.
Those objectives are:
• Benefiting low and moderate income persons
• Preventing or eliminating slums or blight
• Meeting urgent community development needs due to serious and immediate threats to health or welfare of the community.
Please join us on Wednesday, Sept. 4 from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Davenport Police Department Community Room (416 N. Harrison St.). Meeting is open house style and should only take 10 minutes to participate, stop in anytime during the scheduled time.
