PURPOSE:
To receive citizen comments prior to official close-out of the Magnolia Place Housing Development
Program and authorize execution of the Certificate of Completion and Public Hearing Certification
by the Chair of the Board of Commissioners.
BACKGROUND:
The County received $250,000 in State Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)funds under
the Housing Development category in 1994. These funds were used to assist the Orange Community
Housing Corporation(OCHC)with the site improvements(i.e. clearing, grading, utilities)necessary
for the construction of twenty houses in the Magnolia Place subdivision. Under a subsequent grant
agreement, OCHC agreed to build and sell twenty(20)homes to first-time homebuyers.
All available CDBG funds have been expended for this project and twenty(20)homes have been
built and sold. The average family income is approximately $25,000.
In order to complete the grant close-out process, the N.C. Department of Commerce requires that a
public hearing be held prior to the official close-out of the Housing Development Program to assess
the performance of the County in administering the grant program. All comments received during
the hearing should be reviewed to determine the level of consistency with program goals.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
The Manager recommends authorizing execution of the Certificate of Completion and Public Hearing
Certification, which will contain minutes of the public hearing, by the Chair on behalf of the Board of
Commissioners.
