Shawnee Urban Renewal Authority Meeting Minutes
The board discussed the program management report, focusing on mortgage releases, completed demolition projects, and the preparation of the HUD Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report. A significant portion of the meeting addressed the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) timeliness issue, detailing recent non-compliance warning letters from HUD, the city's corrective actions, and the implementation of a workout plan to increase fund expenditure. Additionally, the board reviewed various housing and community development initiatives, including first-time home buyer programs, infill lot development, and plans for street outreach and utility assistance. The demolition and clearance of the Washington School site were also discussed as a prerequisite for future park design projects.
