City-wide Neighborhood Congress at ARC set for January 9


Hello, 
Bill Cantin of the Office of Neighborhood Services asked that I send you this information..

On Thursday, January 9, 2014, the Office of Neighborhood Services is sponsoring a Neighborhood Congress at the Activity and Recreation Center (ARC) from 6 to 8 p.m.(Council office hours will be held from 5 to 6 p.m.). The purpose of this event is to provide input on the following community development needs: affordable housing, economic development, fair housing, neighborhood needs and community facilities. Information collected during the discussions at the Neighborhood Congress will be used in conjunction with the Consolidated Plan.

The consolidated plan is a document required by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), designed to help guide communities on directing the federal dollars they receive. The consolidated planning process allows you to weigh in on what you think are the most important community needs in Columbia.

To learn more about the Neighborhood Congress and the Consolidated Plan, call (573) 874-6321 or visit our website.
