The City Council of Pueblo, Colorado, proposes to help low and moderate income persons or neighborhoods; to provide jobs for low and moderate income persons; or for clearance of slum and blight. It is anticipated that approximately $1,440,000 in CDBG funds will be received by the City if the loan application is approved. Following is a description of the proposed project: Fountain Creek Flood Protection Project -- Pueblo, Colorado. The construction of levees and flood walls and excavation within the channel along the Fountain Creek through Pueblo, Colorado, from approximately East 14th Street downstream to near the confluence of the Arkansas River, providing the City with 200 -year flood protection. The lower income residential area on Pueblo's East Side has always been the hardest hit in previous floods. In the Fiscal Years 1985 and 1986, CDBG funds were utilized for the following projects: Housing, economic development, streets, water and sewer, parks and clearance or prevention of slum and blight. These activities were in compliance with the Community Development objectives as identified in the final statements prepared for the years mentioned above; they were also in compliance with the national objectives described in the Code of Federal Regulations Book 24, Part 570, Paragraph 901. The City of Pueblo has a Relocation Plan for minimizing displacement of persons actually displaced by such activities. This plan is available to the public for inspection during office hours Monday through Friday in the Department of Housing and Community Services on the third floor of City Hall. The public is invited to submit written comments on the proposed objectives and activities and on the community development performance of the City of Pueblo to the office of the City Manager. Such comments must be received before 5:00 P.M. on April 27, 1987, in order to be considered. Lewis A. Quigley, City Manager 1 City Hall Place Pueblo, Colorado 81003 Telephone: (303) 545 -0561
