Minot City Council weighs top five suggestions for use of CDBG grant
MINOT, N.D. (KMOT) – Members of the Minot City Council discussed community members’ feedback on how to best spend the community development block grant at this week’s regular meeting.
Chris Plank, disaster recovery grant administrator, said they’ve narrowed stakeholders’ suggestions from two public input meetings.
The top five recommended areas were: getting a year-long homeless shelter for families and individuals, increasing transportation options, increasing childcare services, mental health services, and addiction services.
“The main goal is to have sustainable living, sustainable communities and opportunities for those individuals who may be of low to moderate income,” said Plank.
Council members talked about the importance of prioritizing when determining how to use the funds.
The city will receive $331,000.
