Raeford, Hoke County
seek $1.3
million in CD funds
North Carolina communities
have requested $107 million in
federal Community Development
Block Grant funds from the N.C.
Department of Natural Resources
and Community Development,
$79.3 million more than the state
has to allocate.
Some 180 communities, in
cluding Raeford and Hoke Coun
ties filed requests by the April 16
deadline.
In applications received by the
state Department of Natural
Resources and Community De
velopment, the 146 municipalities
and 34 counties have requested
funding for community revitaliza
tion projects ranging from housing
rehabilitation to street paving and
development planning projects
designed to identify critical com
munity needs and formulate plans
to meet those needs. The state has
$27.5 million available for funding
these projects in 1984.
Raeford's request totals
5584,768 for community revitaliza
tion activities. Hoke County has
requested $726,133 for the same
purpose.
Eligible applicants include the
state's 100 counties and, except for
the sixteen largest cities, all
municipalities.
The sixteen cities, which con
tinue to receive Community
Development Block Grant funds
directly from the federal govern
ment are: Asheville, Winston
Salem, High Point, Greensboro,
Burlington, Charlotte, Gastonia,
Concord, Salisbury, Durham,
Raleigh, Fayetteville, Jacksonville,
Hickory, Wilmington and Chapel
Hill.
According to NRCD Secretary
James A. Summers, the large
amount of requests requires that
state staff very thoroughly review
each application. "Because the
limited allocation will fund only
one-fourth of the requests, we
must very carefully review each
project on the basis of the
established scoring system to en
sure that funds will be used in the
most effective manner possible,"
he said.
Summers also noted that grant
announcements originally were
scheduled for early August, but
staff reassignments due to tornado
relief efforts have necessitated a
delay of 30 to 60 days in the an
nouncement date.
Each community revitalization
application will receive scores in
the areas of community needs,
project design, benefit to low and
moderate income persons, other
public and private funds to be used
for project activities, and the pro
ject's consistency with state
policies and programs. Develop
ment planning projects are review
ed on the basis of need, feasibility
and local commitment.
Summers pointed out that the
scoring system, first used in 1982,
is the product of a cooperative ef
fort between state and local of
ficials and that participation by
local governments plays a key role
in the program's success.
Although there is no minimum
amount established for a grant re
quest, no community revitalization
project may exceed S750.000 and
development planning projects are
limited to $10,000. Each local pro
ject must primarily benefit low and
moderate income persons.
