The City of Gloucester is updating its plan for how to use federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. These federal dollars currently support many important programs in Gloucester like:
–    –    The City’s housing rehab program
–    First time homebuyer training
–    The Grace Center
–    The Open Door

Affordable housing
–    Small business loans
–    Sidewalk improvements
–    Park improvements

And more!

We want to hear your ideas and hope you’ll come to one of our public hearings.

–    Thursday, November 13, 2014 at 6:30 p.m. at the Open Door, 28 Emerson Avenue, Gloucester, MA. Refreshments will be served.

–    Wednesday, December 10, 2014, at 6:00 p.m. at the Willowood Community Building (upper level), 40 Willowood Road, Gloucester, MA. Pizza and refreshments will be served.

We will also be sending out a survey for input in the coming weeks. Check out www.gloucester-ma.gov  for more information.
