Show Block grant program hearing in Vernal There will be a public hearing in each of the seven planning districts of the State to discuss the small cities Community Development Block Grant program. The public hearing for the Uintah Basin region will be held in Vernal on Friday, April 2 from 7-10 p.m. at the Vernal Junior High School Library. Utah has been allocated $4.2 million by Congress to invest in community development activities in the small cities and counties of our State. This money is available to cities under 50.000 in population and counties less than 200.000 in population. The program has been designed by a committee appointed by the Governor's Advisory Council on Community Af-fiars Af-fiars and the Department of Community Com-munity and Economic Development. A series of public meetings was held in December to receive local official and citizen input. The date from those meetings was a key factor in designing the program. |
