City’s Department of Community Development : Public Input Sessions

01:28PM / Tuesday, February 03, 2009

PITTSFIELD, Mass. – The Pittsfield Department of Community Development is sponsoring two Public Input Sessions this year as part of preparing its 2010 Consolidated Annual Action Plan. The purpose of the Public Input Sessions is to obtain public comments and suggestions on how the City’s federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds should be used to improve the quality of life in our community. Information gathered from these public input sessions will be used during the preparation of the City’s Consolidated Annual Action Plan.

The first public input session will be held on Monday, February 23, 2009 at 7:30 p.m. at Conte Community School, Community Room, located at 200 West Union Street, Pittsfield, MA. The second public input session will be held on Wednesday, March 11, 2009 at 7:30 p.m. at Morningside Community School, Community Room, located at 100 Burbank Street, Pittsfield, MA. Both public input sessions will be held at the end of the regularly scheduled West Side and Morningside Neighborhood Initiative Steering Committee meetings. The public is also encouraged to attend the Neighborhood Initiative Steering Committee meetings that will be held at 6:30 p.m. prior to each of the public input sessions. 

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that the City prepare a Consolidated Annual Action Plan each year. Funded projects included in the Annual Action Plan are required to benefit low and moderate-income people or eliminate slums and blight.

Everyone who attends this public input session will be given the opportunity to speak on what community issues are important to them, such as: housing; public facilities; job opportunities; crime; drug and alcohol abuse; childcare; domestic violence; handicapped services; and elderly services.

The Consolidated Annual Action Plan will be available in draft form in mid April for the public to review and comment. It will also undergo a formal adoption process, including a formal public hearing that will be publicly advertised. The plan will be completed and approved by the middle of May and is due at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) shortly thereafter.

If residents are unable to attend the Public Input Session, they can send their comments, written or orally, to the Pittsfield Department of Community Development, City Hall, 70 Allen Street, Room 205, Pittsfield, MA at (413) 499-9368 or by TTY at (413) 499-9340. Persons with special needs should contact the Pittsfield Department of Community Development and every effort will be made to accommodate their requests.
