PUBLIC NOTICE AND NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
BUSINESS REVOLVING LOAN FUNDS
Docket #2004-06
The County of Weld plans to submit a Community Development Block Grant(CDBG)application
to the State of Colorado, Department of Local Affairs,do the Office of Economic Development and
International Trade. CDBG funds are intended to provide decent housing, suitable living
environments and economic opportunities,principally for low and moderate income persons through
rehabilitation and preservation,economic development(generallyjob creation/retention)and public
facilities improvements. In regards to all CDBG programs, it is estimated that$11,067,000 (less
3%plus$100,000 for state administrative costs and technical assistance)will be available statewide
for distribution to units of general local government in the state as non-entitlement areas. For
economic development projects, it is estimated that $3,544,996 will be available statewide for
distribution to units of general local government in the state as non-entitlement areas.
The application being considered would request $500,000 for a project which involves the
construction of an organic milk processing plant and the conversion of an existing dairy(Aurora
Organic Dairy)to produce organic milk. Construction of the building and equipment will be provided
by private financing. CDBG funds will be used to provide 6,800 lineal feet of sewer line to connect
the plant to St Vrain Sanitation District. It is estimated that approximately 51%of the funds would
benefit low and moderate income persons. Permanent involuntary displacement of neighborhood
persons or businesses is not anticipated. Should it later become necessary to consider such
displacement,alternatives will be examined to minimize the displacement. If no feasible alternatives
exist, required/reasonable benefits will be provided to those displaced to mitigate adverse effects
and hardships. Any low and moderate income housing which is demolished or converted will be
replaced.
