Anyone requiring a language interpreter or other accommodation to comment on the Borough’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program should contact Chris Stetler at 610-828-1092 at least 72 hours prior to the meeting.
Conshohocken is eligible for $134,796 in federal 2021 CDBG funding through the PA Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED). Comments and questions will be accepted concerning community needs in Conshohocken; past performance of activities conducted with CDBG funds; how 2021 funds should be used; and areas which should be addressed in the Three-Year Community Development Plan. CDBG funds must be used for the benefit of low-moderate income residents of the Borough. Eligible activities include: water and sewer line replacement or improvement; construction of affordable housing; housing rehabilitation, construction/reconstruction of public/community facilities; public services that are new and provide quantifiable increases in the delivery of services; street improvements; removal of architectural barriers; economic development; code enforcement, acquisition and relocation; clearance and demolition; and general administration, planning, audit, and preparation of the CDBG application. Conshohocken would be responsible for the replacement of any demolished low-moderate income housing units, which displace families or individuals that result from a CDBG Project.
