He has requested to meet again with the CDAC in a couple of weeks and will post a draft copy of the ConPlan. He gave a brief overview of what the ConPlan is and explained that the stated goals and objectives serve as a guide during the annual allocation process. Part of it is to identify the eligible project activities form. This will go along with a narrative as well. Philip Michalowski told the CDAC that the Property Rehab Program is a core activity of CDBG funding. Older communities rely on these funds to help maintain their housing stock. There were also Stimulus funds that were awarded for lead remediation. Philip Michalowski said that the Draft ConPlan would be posted on the City’s website.
