New Project list available for Public Comment

The CEDS process for 2008 has collected 15 new projects from Chittenden County.  It’s our pleasure to list these excellent projects in the CEDS document so that they may possibly be considered for CDBG funding.  As part of our regular process, a period of public hearings will be held through this site.  Please feel free to submit comments via email to Joseph Thibault, or to comment on this post by using the link below.

All projects are automatically included in the CEDS report which will be submitted to the EDA later this summer (August 08).  If you are interested in more detailed information about any of the projects please contact Mr. Thibault asap.

Comments are welcome until June 29th, 2008.  At that time the commenting period will close and the CEDS report draft will be available for a similar comment period soon after.

To access the 15 new projects please click here.  Additionally, if you’d like to view the update letter sent out to CEDS stakeholders during the week of June 9th please click here.
