A total of $1.75 Million in recommendations to 12 Communities
CLEVELAND – Cuyahoga County Executive Armond Budish announced $1.75 million in grant award recommendations for 12 communities to receive Municipal Grant Program for 2018 upon County Council approval.
“We continue to work together to sustain and develop vibrant communities,” said Executive Budish. “These grants are more vital than ever to help our neighborhoods meet their needs.”
The Municipal Grant Program is a competitive grant program that makes awards up to $150,000 for projects that will strengthen cities and improve the quality of life for residents.
Funded by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) dollars, 51 of the county’s 59 communities are eligible to apply to the Municipal Grant Program. Grant funding obligates both the county and grant awardees to meet certain objectives, and adhere to specific requirements as prescribed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Community Development Block Grant funding.
This program is managed by the Cuyahoga County Department of Development, which evaluates applications from communities across the county.
“Our annual CDBG awards are based on a competitive process and are an essential tool for revitalizing county neighborhoods---a key component of our economic development strategy for Cuyahoga County,” said Ted Carter, Cuyahoga County Chief Economic Development & Business Officer.
This year’s awarded projects include construction on streets, sidewalk repair, ADA improvements, community center enhancements and playground improvements.
The recommended communities for the Municipal Grant awards will be presented to the Cuyahoga County Council on June 26, 2018. The Storefront awards will be presented to the Cuyahoga County Board of Control.
