Proposed project activities must meet one or more of three objectives: benefit low- and moderate-income (LMI) persons; prevent or eliminate slums or blight; and/or alleviate immediate threats to the health and safety of the community. Housing, community and economic development activities are eligible; examples include housing rehab, demolition or improvement of blighted property and public works projects.

Union County, on behalf of Lewisburg Borough, will commit not less than 70% of the total funds after administration costs, to projects which principally benefit (LMI). They encourage public comment on possible projects including environmental impacts, the Borough’s Three-Year Community Development Plan, as well as current or past CDBG projects.

No displacement is anticipated, and every effort will be made to avoid or minimize displacement and relocation. Should displacement be required, the applicant is responsible for replacing all LMI housing units that are demolished or converted. At this hearing, Lewisburg Borough will disclose the types and levels of assistance that it would make available if persons were to be displaced by CDBG-funded activities.

Union County, on behalf of Lewisburg Borough, does not discriminate in access to, participation in, or treatment or employment in its federally funded programs or services.
