County’s CDBG program requests community input on project ideas

Published on May 31, 2023

Notebook with a piece of paper that reads

Does your community have needs that could benefit from Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds? Perhaps neighborhood improvement projects such as ADA accessible sidewalks, improved transportation options, or home repairs for a specific neighborhood? As part of the Weld County CDBG program, we’re giving residents a chance to share their project ideas as the program continues to grow and evolve. 

Past projects that benefited from CDBG funds include:

  • 60+ Ride ADA Van in southern Weld County
  • Walking Paths in Hudson
  • Sidewalk Improvements in Keenesburg
  • Single-Family Housing Rehab Program in Firestone

Public input for project ideas will be accepted at a public hearing held at 9 a.m. on June 12, 2023, at the Weld County Administration Building, 1150 O St. in Greeley. To be considered, projects must focus on: Community development and housing needs, including the needs of low- and moderate-income persons, as well as other needs in the community that might be addressed through the CDBG program.

If you cannot attend the public hearing, written comments are also welcome and must be received by 5 p.m. on June 11, 2023. You can send in comments via email to erelford@weld.gov or mail comments to Office of the Clerk to the Board, 1150 O St., Greeley, CO, 80631. Comments should include the following information:

• Your name.
• What town you live in.
• What community improvements are needed.
• If the need was met, how would this improve your community?
• What do you think about the community improvement projects currently being completed?
