ORANGE : City Approves Grant Money Distribution
The City Council last week approved $908,000 in grant money for city projects and local social service organizations.
The Community Development Block Grant funds are allocated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for local community projects.
This year, priority was given to city capital improvements, with more than $500,000 going to public works projects such as storm drain and water main improvements and street reconstruction.
The Community Development Department received $181,600, the second largest grant, while the library’s Friendly Stop annex received $30,000.
The council also allocated more than $130,000 to nonprofit agencies, giving priority to groups that directly benefit Orange residents, benefit low- and moderate-income households and have demonstrated capable administration.
