PURPOSE: To conduct a public hearing to receive public comments prior to official close -out
of the County's FY 2010 Community Development (CDBG) Economic Recovery Program.
BACKGROUND: In February 2011 Orange County was officially awarded a $500,000
Community Development Block (CDBG) Grant from the N.C. Department of Commerce for an
Economic Recovery Program. Funds from this grant were intended to be used to repair eight
(8) deteriorated housing units, reconstruct one (1) dwelling unit and provide urgent repair
assistance for an additional 15 dwelling units in the County.
All CDBG activities have now been completed and eight (8) homes were substantially
rehabilitated and 15 dwelling units received urgent repair assistance. The targeted home for
reconstruction activity was not completed due to the owner's reluctance to participate in the
program. A summary of the program beneficiaries is attached to this abstract.
A public hearing was conducted on December 2, 2013 to receive public comments and the
grant was "closed out However, the notice for the hearing was void of the N.C. Department of
Commerce's mandatory Spanish - language notification designed to ensure that the Spanish -
speaking LE P community was properly informed. In order to complete the official grant close-
out process, the N.C. Department of Commerce is requiring that another notice including the
referenced Spanish information be published and an additional public hearing occur. Proper
notice for this public hearing has been published.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: This grant provided $644,444 in this community for this grant program.
A total of $484,444 was expended for this program, which includes $369,444 in hard costs
associated to rehabilitate the homes, and $125,000 in administrative and other costs. The
remaining $16,000 is associated with the clearance and relocation costs for a home that
withdrew from the program. Therefore, the $16,000 was retained by the State Community
Development Program.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board conduct the public hearing
to receive public comments prior to official close -out of the County's FY 2010 Community
Development (CDBG) Economic Recovery Program, and then close the public hearing.
