SECOND PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE

The Town of Century is applying to the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for a Small Cities Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) under the Housing Revitalization category in the amount of $650,000.00. For each activity that is proposed, at least 70% of the funds must benefit low and moderate income persons. The activities, dollar amount and estimated percentage benefit to low and moderate income persons for which the Town is applying are:

Housing Rehabilitation and Construction Costs: $ 552,500.00 100 % low and moderate income

Project Administration: $ 97,500.00 70 % low and moderate income

The Town of Century plans to minimize displacement of persons as a result of planned CDBG activities in the following manner: No displacement is anticipated because all construction will occur within established rights-of-way. If any persons are displaced as a result of the planned activities, the Town will assist such persons to obtain suitable replacement housing.
