TOWN OF ABERDEEN

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT for
CDBG No. 12-C-2438: 2012 SMALL BUSINESS & ENTREPRENEURIAL ASSISTANCE (SBEA) PROJECT
PROJECT BUDGET AMENDMENT

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING


In accordance with Section .1002 of Subchapter 19L of the North Carolina Community Development Block Grant Program, notice is hereby given that the Town of Aberdeen will conduct a public hearing at 5:30 pm on Thursday, April 3, 2014 at 115 N. Poplar Street, in the Robert N. Page Municipal Building, Aberdeen North Carolina.

The purpose of this hearing is for the submission of a budget amendment to accurately reflect changes in project activities and expenditures since application was submitted. Originally, four businesses were included in the application; however, due to unforeseen circumstances, one business has asked to withdraw from the grant project. In addition, the withdrawal affects the total for the administration line item of the project. Also, one business requires a shift in their expenditure from one line item to another that is more than 10% of the total project budget. The 2012 SBEA project received $250,000.00 in Grant funds to be used to jumpstart growth of existing small businesses, thus creating new jobs or retaining existing jobs to benefit low- and moderate-income (LMI) persons. All citizens of the Town of Aberdeen and interested persons are invited to attend this hearing.

Interested parties may present their views orally or in writing at the public hearing or prior to the public hearing by communicating with Bill Zell, Town Manager at 944-4505. Written citizen comments will be responded to in writing within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of comments by the applicant.

This information is available in Spanish or any other language upon request. Please contact Jae Kim at (910) 944-4514 or at 115 N. Poplar Street, Aberdeen, North Carolina for accommodations for this request.
