SOUTH JORDAN, UT – Residents and interested parties will get a chance to comment on the City of South Jordan’s planned use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds at a public hearing on April 2, 2024.
These federal funds are set aside to benefit low- and moderate-income residents in the City. The City invites all residents of the community to learn about the grant and comment on how they’d like to see it spent.
“We hope that the public will use this opportunity to bring up needs in their neighborhoods that CDBG funds can help with,” said Rachael Van Cleave, South Jordan’s Public Information Officer. “The eligible uses of these funds are limited, but the best ideas sometimes come from those closest to the needs.”
In this year’s plan, funds have been tentatively allocated toward sidewalk accessibility upgrades and services for those experiencing domestic violence and homelessness. The following non-profits are slated to receive a portion of the funds: South Valley Services, the Legal Aid Society, and the Road Home.
The public hearing will be held on Tuesday, April 2, at 6:30 p.m. in the South Jordan City Hall at 1600 W. Towne Center Drive, South Jordan, Utah. The meeting may also be joined virtually via Zoom.us phone and video conferencing. To join virtually, visit https://www.sjc.utah.gov/city-council for further instructions on the day of the meeting.
In addition to the public hearing, residents can review the Annual Action Plan online at sjc.utah.gov/CDBG or in person at city buildings. Comments on the plan can be made at the hearing or by contacting the CDBG Coordinator anytime between March 19 and April 18.
The City will provide reasonable accommodations, including necessary interpretation, for all timely requests. For all inquiries, including making a comment or requesting accommodations, contact the City Recorder, Anna Crookston, at acrookston@sjc.utah.gov or 801-446-4357.
