Comment Period and Public Hearing for Modification to FY 2019 “OBO” North East Borough CDBG Program

March 22, 2022 by NorthEast Notices

Notice is hereby given that North East Borough officials will hold a public hearing on Monday, April 4, 2022 at 10:00 A.M. at the North East Borough Municipal Building, located at 31 West Main Street, North East, PA 16428 for the purpose of considering a proposal to “modify” its FY 2019 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program.

The Borough received $93,227 in FY 2019 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding from the PA DCED and previously resolved that the monies be used to undertake the following activities:

• $52,457.23 – Single Family Housing Rehabilitation Project
• $30,979.77 – Handicapped Accessible Curb-Cut Project (Phase I)
• $ 9,790.00 – Program Administration

The proposed modification would delete the Single Family Housing Rehabilitation Project and reallocate the $52,457.23 to supplement the FY 2020 funded Phase II Handicapped Accessible Curb-Cut Ramps Project that will provide for the installation of thirty (30) curb-cut ramps at several locations throughout the Borough. Twenty-two (22) curb-ramps were recently installed using multi-year (FY’s ‘18 and ’19) CDBG funds.

Title II of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires state and local governments to make pedestrian crossings accessible to people with disabilities by providing curb ramps. Without these ramps, sidewalk travel and street crossing can be difficult, dangerous and in some cases impossible for people who use wheelchairs, scooters, and other mobility aids.

All interested persons are encouraged to attend the hearing. Those who are unable to attend but would like to comment may do so by writing to the Erie County Department of Planning (ECDP), 150 East Front Street, Suite 300, Erie, PA 16507 or by emailing jberdis@eriecountypa.gov. Comments will be accepted until the day of the hearing.

The meeting room where the hearing will be conducted is handicapped accessible. The Borough will make reasonable accommodation for any known disability that may interfere with a person’s ability to participate. Persons needing an accommodation should notify/contact Nancy Anderson, Borough Administrative Assistant at 725-8611 at least 48 hours prior to the hearing.

It is anticipated that Borough Council will pass a resolution approving the program modification at their meeting at 7:00 PM on April 4, 2022. County Planning on behalf of the Borough will submit requisite documentation to DCED for review/approval.

"... one man, one vote, in person, on Election Day, in public, with ironclad voter identification. Absentee ballots should be limited to overseas military personnel only; if you’re out of town or even the country, that’s your choice. There should be no “ballot curing,” drop-off votes, early votes, or judge-mandated late votes."
