CDBG Citizens Advisory Committee
The Community Development Block Grant Citizens Advisory Committee develops recommendations for use of CDBG funds, a federal entitlement program benefiting low and moderate income households.
The committee has up to 25 members who are appointed by the mayor and confirmed by the Governing Body. Members serve one year terms, and during their tenure, consider an eclectic array of proposals for funding from city infrastructure to housing and social service projects.
Meetings generally are held in the Training Room of the Myron E. Scafe Building, 8500 Antioch Road. The public is welcome.
The city of Overland Park receives federal funds for its Community Development Block Grant. Currently, the 2010-2014 action plans are up for review. The city's primary non-housing goals include spending an estimated $1.75 million for infrastructure improvements in CDBG eligible neighborhoods.
You are welcome to attend meetings and offer comments on the FY2012 Annual Action Plan.
