Community Development Block Grant funds are awarded to communities in order to address a variety of issues in blighted and low-moderate income areas. Funds are distributed based on a state formula and distributed each year.
The county has previously used the funding for street, sidewalk and water improvements in New Carlisle, Catawba, Mad River Twp. and Green Twp.
This year, funding will be used for, “street improvements and drainage improvements on Fenwick Drive in the City of New Carlisle including paving, curbs, gutters and associated storm drain works,” according to the resolution.
If the county receives the funding, it will be good until Oct. 31, 2022.
