Southside meetings held for input on grants

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

Upcoming public meetings include one Thursday at 5 p.m. at the H.J.C. Bowden Senior Center, 2885 Church St., East Point, and another Tuesday at 6 p.m. at the Southwest Library, 3665 Cascade Road, S.W., Atlanta. The deadline for comments is Sept. 14, and they can be emailed to Lolita.Collins@fultoncountyga.gov. Information: 404-613-7944.
