PUBLIC NOTICE AND NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
Food Bank of the Rockies plans to submit a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application to the State of Colorado, Department of Local Affairs. CDBG funds are intended to provide decent housing, suitable living environments and economic opportunities, principally for low and moderate-income persons through rehabilitation and preservation, economic/job development and public facilities improvements.
The application being considered would request $250,000 to purchase food to be distributed to area food banks. It is estimated that approximately 100% of the funds would benefit low and moderate-income persons. Permanent involuntary displacement of neighborhood persons or businesses is not anticipated.
