Public meeting July 9
PRESCOTT – A public hearing will be held on Tuesday, July 9, 2019 at 4:30 P.M. at the Nevada County Courthouse for the purpose of identifying and prioritizing the community needs of Nevada County, determining whether an Application for an Arkansas Community & Economic Development Program grant (ACEFP) should be developed, and is so, for what community need. ACEDP is a grant/loan program using federal funds received by the State of Arkansas and administered by the Arkansas Economic Development Commission (AEDC). These funds are made available to cities and counties according to need and can be used for the following purposes:
- Provide benefit to low and moderate-income families
- Aid in the prevention of slum and blight,
- Meet other community needs which pose a serious, immediate
threat to the health or welfare of the community where no other funding is available to
meet such needs.
All residents of Nevada County are encouraged to attend the hearing and participate in the community development process. The County will provide technical assistance in developing proposals by groups representing low and moderate-income persons.
