Avon Lake City Council Special Meeting
The board meeting primarily focused on a presentation regarding the Lorain County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The presentation detailed the potential benefits of the county transitioning to direct funding from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development, emphasizing the increased flexibility and funding capacity for infrastructure projects in low-to-moderate-income neighborhoods. Council members questioned the communication process regarding this initiative, the structure of the proposed advisory board, the population count requirements for urban county status, and the timing of municipal participation agreements.
