The Town also may ap- ply for $200,000 in FY2022 CDBG funds from the State special projects (SSP) account.

A public hearing will be held at 5:00 PM on October 21, 2022 at Quartzsite Community Center, 295 E. Chan- dler Street to gather citizen input on the use of the CDBG funds. Examples of possible uses in- clude the following: 1) Public infrastructure (e.g., water, wastewa- ter, street improvements); 2) Community facilities (e.g., parks, Food Bank, shelters and halfway houses, Senior Centers); 3) Housing (e.g., owner-occupied or multi- family rehab, or utility connections on private property; 4) Public services (e.g., purchasing a van to transport persons with disabilities, equipment and rent to start a new job training program); and 5) Economic development (e.g., a loan to a busi- ness for job creation, micro-enterprise develop- ment, acquisition of land for an existing business expansion).
