The estimated funding of $59,381 would be allocated towards assessment abatement. Action requires a simple majority of Council. Background Information: CDBG funding is intended to fund activities for low and low\moderate income individuals including affordable housing, anti-poverty, and infrastructure development. Dakota County receives a direct allocation of CDBG funding from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and sub- allocates funding to individual cities within the County. Assessment Abatement – Similar to past years, CDBG funding would be allocated toward providing assessment abatement for local public infrastructure projects; allowing qualifying homeowners to reduce or eliminate their assessment. This year’s project generally involves street reconstruction and utilities in the area of Pleasant Drive, Old Bridge Lane, Southview Drive, Ridgewood Court, and 18th Court. Financial Impact: CDBG funds will assist low to low\moderate income households in abating assessments and housing repairs.
