Input sought on millions in federal funds

Fulton County has opened the public input period for spending next year's federal Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnerships and Emergency Shelter Grant funds. The county usually gets about $3 million per year, mainly intended to improve living conditions of low- and moderate-income people. The comment period is required by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Comments can be emailed to Lolita.Collins@fultoncountyga.gov, and a series of public meetings have been scheduled. One will be Tuesday at 6 p.m. at Alpharetta's Ed Isakson/Alpharetta Family YMCA and another will be Wednesday at 2 p.m. at Alpharetta's Crabapple Neighborhood Center. The comment deadline is Sept. 14. Information: 404-613-7944.
