[email protected] City Council next month will consider whether to allocate $2 million in federal Department of Housing and Urban Development money for eight proposed programs and projects, many of them for housing and infrastructure improvements. The slate of proposals — five of which would be paid for with Community Development Block Grants and three of which would be paid for with HOME Investment Partnership Program money — was crafted recently by then-City Manager Ken Decker, according to CDBG Manager Mary Johnson. The slate was discussed Wednesday at a public hearing conducted by the city’s Department of Community Development, which took comments from one visitor that didn’t lead to changes.
