PRIORITY # 3: Expand Economic Development Opportunities for low and moderate - income persons through job creation, small business creation and expansion and opportunities created by activities selected for funding. The Committee has made no recommendation for economic development, and has reserved the right to revisit proposals under this category at a later date from funds shown under Landbanking funded by CDBG. The above priorities are listed by rank order. Redwood City has developed its statement of projected use of funds based on comments from service providers during the Annual Action Plan goal setting meeting held in December 2002. The funding recommendations attempt to give maximum feasible priority to activities that benefit low and very low income families who are homeless or at -risk of becoming homeless. These funds also assist individual households to become self sufficient and reduce the level of poverty, or aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight. Over the three to five year period of the Consolidated Plan, the City will continue to carry out activities that meet the objectives specified in the Community Development Plan and will minimize displacement of low- income households. Community Development Block Grant regulations require that participating communities consult with citizens and various providers to create a Consolidated Plan, a unified vision for delivery of services with CDBG and other federal funds. The City has developed its Consolidated Planning Strategy to maximize resources for low- income residents and to require collaboration between service providers in an attempt to reduce poverty and improve the standard of living for low - income households. A Draft Action Plan is available for review in the Redevelopment, Housing and Economic Development Division Office of the Community Development Services Department. Citizens may submit written or oral comments until 5:00 PM on April 24, 2003. The Plan will be presented to the City Council for adoption on April 28, 2003. Citizens' comments will be incorporated into the final Consolidated Plan submitted to HUD for the FY 2003 -04 program year. For information regarding this plan and the use of CDBG funds to meet the national and the local program objectives, contact the Redevelopment, Housing and Economic Development Division at City Hall. Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Performance Reports (CAPER) and other records indicating past use of funds are available to the public and may be inspected at the Redevelopment, Housing and Economic Development Division in City Hall at 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City.
