Section 3 NOTICE TO CITIZENS IN THE CITY OF CANTON OPPORTUNITY FOR WORK The City of Canton has received a Community Development Block Grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity for S. Ave. D, W. Maple, & W. Hickory Street Water Main Replacement within the City of Canton. This grant will provide the City of Canton with the opportunity to search for eligible local citizens interested in participating in the project. Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, as amended through 1994, provides that to the greatest extent feasible, preference for economic opportunities will be given to citizens in Canton who are determined to be low- and very low-income individuals. A low- and very low-income individual can be calculated by documenting household income of less than 80 percent of the county median income. Opportunities such as job training and employment that arise through this Community Development Block Grant project will be directed toward Canton residents. Section 3 requirements apply to the Community as a grantee, if the project activity is more than $200,000 in funding from housing and community development financial assistance programs.
