PUBLIC NOTICE FOR CITY OF ST. GEORGE
City of St. George Consolidated Plan 2014
Notice of 30 Day Public Review Period and Public Hearing

The City of St. George has prepared a Draft Consolidated Plan for a 30 day public review and comment (April 21, 2009 to May 21, 2009). The City developed a new Consolidated Plan (ConPlan) in order to continue receiving federal funds from the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) over the next five years. This document is a strategic plan and consolidated application for addressing identified housing and community development needs of the City. Beginning Fiscal Year (FY) 2009-10, the City anticipates receiving about $474,137 in federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from HUD. The funds will be expended to meet the goals and objectives of the ConPlan 2014. The primary ConPlan goals deal with Affordable Housing, Community Development, Homelessness, and Special Needs Populations.
Some of the Draft ConPlan strategies address the need to: 1) increase and preserve the number of affordable housing units (new and rental) for low income populations; 2) extend housing and supportive services to a greater number of homeless families and individuals; 3) support the revitalization of neighborhoods by improving public facilities and infrastructure; 4) reduce regulatory barriers to developing affordable housing; and 5) increase the capacity of community-based organizations for delivery of community programs and services.
The Draft ConPlan is available for review at the City's website www.sgcity.org/commdev, or at the City of St. George, Community Development Department located at 175 East 200 North in St. George. The City invites written comments on the Draft ConPlan by no later than May 21, 2009 to: David Bates, City of St.George Community Development Department, St. George, Utah 84770. You may contact Mr. Bates at (435) 627-4462 for further information.
