Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Acceptance

Rogers to Benefit from $497,435 Community Development Block Grant

The Rogers City Council will soon discuss the acceptance of a substantial 2024 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) amounting to $497,435. This grant is a crucial part of the city's efforts to enhance community development and address pressing needs within the community.

Intended Use of Grant Funds The funds from this grant are expected to be allocated to various projects that will benefit the community. Historically, CDBG funds have been used for a wide range of initiatives, including infrastructure improvements, affordable housing, and public services. The specific projects for the 2024 grant will be determined based on community needs and input from residents and stakeholders.

Community Impact The acceptance of this grant will have a significant positive impact on Rogers. Previous projects funded by CDBG have included improvements to local parks, community centers, and housing rehabilitation programs. These projects not only improve the quality of life for residents but also help stimulate local economic growth.

"We're thrilled about the opportunities this grant provides for our city," said Mayor C. Greg Hines. "It allows us to address critical needs and invest in our community's future."
