Additional funding, in the amount of $20,000.00, was budgeted through the Community Development Block Grant Coronavirus Relief (CDBG-CV) Program, in conjunction with the CARES Act and in accordance with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) 2020 Amended Annual Action Plan.
