Kirkm yer 940600 PUBLIC NOTICE AND NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Docket No. 94-50 The County of Weld plans to submit a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application to the State of Colorado, Office of Business Development. 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/job development and public facility improvements. It is estimated that $10,588, 000 will be available statewide for the "Small Cities" CDBG program. Approximately one-third of the appropriation will be available for economic development projects. The application being considered would request $300,000 for bridge replacement of Weld County Bridge 50/67A. 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. A public hearing will be held at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, June 29, 1994, in the First Floor Hearing Room, Weld County Centennial Complex, 915 10th Street, Greeley, Colorado, to obtain citizen views and to respond to proposals and questions related to: ► The proposed CDBG application for bridge replacement of Weld County Bridge 50/67A. ► 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. ► The performance of the County of Weld in carrying out its community development responsibilities. Written comments are also welcome and must be received by June 29, 1994, at 9:00 a.m. in the Clerk to the Board's Office, 915 Tenth Street, Greeley, Colorado 80631. Oral and written comments will be considered in deciding whether to submit an application for the proposed project. Written summary information will be available at Room 316, 915 Tenth Street, Greeley, Colorado, on June 20, 1994, until June 29, 1994, at which time a CDBG application shall be submitted to the state.
