The City of Pittsfield has scheduled 2 nights for receiving input for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). These public input sessions are being held by the Pittsfield Department of Community Development to assist in the preparation of the City’s 2019 Annual Action Plan. The Annual Action Plan will utilize Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to address the needs of low and moderate-income persons and households as required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
You can provide input on things like housing rehabilitation, jobs, code enforcement, demolition of vacant building, sidewalk reconstruction, park improvements, and other neighborhood issues.
