CITY OF PUEBLO, COLORADO, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) DRAFT
STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES TO BE DONE WITH THE USE OF FUNDS
MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH A SECTION 108 LOAN GUARANTEE FROM THE DEPARTMENT
OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT.
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.
