The purpose of the Public Hearing is to discuss the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program in general, the needs of the Borough of Waynesboro, and the Borough's performance under the previously funded CDBG Program Years. In accordance with PA Act 179, dated Oct. 11, 1984, P.L. 906, No. 179, the PA Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) has allocated to the Borough of Waynesboro $169,012.00 in FY 2026 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds from the State's CDBG Entitlement Grant from the U.S. Department of HUD. At least 70% of the available funds must be used for activities which principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons. The Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) set a date for submission of the FY 2026 CDBG Applications as October 30, 2026. In preparation for funding, the Borough will conduct a public hearing on the housing, community development, and economic development needs of the Borough of Waynesboro. The following types of activities may be eligible for funding under the CDBG Program: water and sewer line replacement and improvements; housing rehabilitation; new construction of affordable housing; construction and reconstruction of public/community facilities; recreational facilities; public services that are a new or a quantifiable increase in the level of service; street and road improvements; historic preservation; the removal of architectural barriers; economic development; acquisition and relocation; clearance and demolition of property; costs to dispose of real estate; general administrative costs; planning; audit; environmental clearance; and the preparation of the application. If the Borough would undertake the acquisition, demolition, and/or rehabilitation of residential properties that could result in displacement of families or individuals, then the Borough's policy for minimizing such displacement would be in effect. The Borough is responsible for replacing all low- and moderate-income housing units that may be demolished or converted as a result of the use of CDBG funds. All interested residents are encouraged to attend and will be afforded the opportunity to give oral testimony at the Public Hearing and/or to present written comments concerning the needs of the Borough of Waynesboro, eligible CDBG program activities, and how the CDBG Program may address those needs.
