NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGS

Notice is hereby given that the City of North Little Rock is currently preparing its Five Year Consolidated Plan for the period FY 2011-2015. The City will apply for two categories of funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in FY 2011, including Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnership (HOME) funds.
In accordance with the City’s Citizen Participation Plan, we will conduct three community-wide public hearings to address housing and community development needs for the Five Year Plan. The purpose of the hearings is to obtain the views and comments of individuals and organizations relative to housing and community development needs that may be addressed by CDBG and HOME funds during the next five years. Individuals and organizations will also be given the opportunity to recommend specific activities to be carried out with FY 2011 CDBG and HOME funds.
If you plan to submit a request for a project, you will need to fill out an application form with all the required information. The Project Application Form can be obtained at the Community Development Agency (CDA), 116 Main Street, North Little Rock, AR, or by calling 501-340-5342.

All interested citizens are encouraged and invited to attend the hearings and offer suggestions for proposed projects that may be eligible for funding under the 2011 Community Development Block Grant Program.
