The total amount of CDBG funds to be requested is $40,000.00. The amount of CDBG funds proposed to be used for activities that will benefit low- and moderate-income persons is $20,480.00. This project will utilize the national objective of Slum and Blight. The Town proposes to expend an estimated $4,500.00 in non-CDBG funds on the project. These non-CDBG funds will be derived by the Town contributing $3,000.00 from their EDIT Fund and $750.00 from the Greentown Historical Society and $750.00 from the Main Street Association.

After Amy Miller answered questions from the public, Mr. Everling asked if anyone had any other comments or objections to this CDBG.

With no comments, Mr. Everling closed the public hearing.
