City Council to Discuss Reallocation of CDBG Funds on Wed, July 13th


Posted by: Noël Jones

There will be an Easton City Council meeting this Wednesday at 6pm on the 6th floor of the Alpha Building at One South Third Street.  Among other items on the agenda will be the reallocation of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding after federal cuts to community action funding, which affects our local nonprofits.

Anyone wanting to voice concerns about the Chrin landfill issue can speak up during CITIZENS' RIGHT TO BE HEARD at the end of the agenda, as the waiver for Chrin is not an agenda item this time. The agenda is below:
