The meeting focused on discussions and motions related to the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. Key actions include transferring $102,447 in unused demolition funds from the 205-213 Main Street project to complete the Greenwood Pool demolition, which is nearing completion. A significant portion of the meeting addresses the proposed transfer of $618,200 from the cancelled School Street School Demolition Project to fund the construction of a new Greenwood Pool Pavilion, pending a revised cost estimate that complies with the Build America Buy America Act. The committee also reviewed potential future projects for unallocated CDBG funds, including an expansion of the St. Paul’s Community Garden and discussing the requirements for a potential multi-unit housing rehabilitation project. Finally, the committee received updates on the approval status of the FY2025 CDBG application and progress on the sale of the former 205-213 Main Street property.
