Action Plan for the Distribution and use of Community Development Block Grant--Recovery Funds

[39 Pa.B. 3073]
[Saturday, June 20, 2009]

   The Department of Community and Economic Development (Department) is proposing an amendment to the Commonwealth's Action Plan for Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2008 and the Program Year that began on January 1, 2008. The 2008 Action Plan is an update of the Commonwealth's Consolidated Plan for FFY 2004-2008. This amendment contains the Action Plan for the distribution and use of Community Development Block Grant--Recovery (CDBG-R) funds.

   The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded the Commonwealth an allocation of $12,434,921 in CDBG-R funds, as authorized by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (42 U.S.C.S. § 5301).

   The purpose of CDBG-R funds is to provide expedited funding for community development projects that will stimulate the economy and provide job creation and job retention benefits. The Department will award CDBG-R funds on a formula basis to local governments, which includes 13% of the funds for competitive/discretionary projects. The eligible activities include many of the regular activities eligible under the CDBG Program with several exceptions.

   The Action Plan and supporting documentation is available for a 7-day public comment period and can be obtained on the Department's web site under the ''Publications'' section at www.newpa.com/strengthen-your-community/technical-assistance/index.aspx. The final version of this Action Plan will be submitted to HUD by June 29, 2009.

   The Action Plan contains the list of projects that grantees will undertake using CDBG-R funds and local government contact information about those projects.

   Persons who would like to comment on this amendment may send those comments to Jody Michael, Department of Community and Economic Development, Center for Community Development, 400 North Street, 4th Floor, Harrisburg, PA 17120. Comments must be received before 5 p.m. on June 25, 2009.
