PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE
City of Butler
2025 CDBG PROGRAM
Notice is hereby given by
the City of Butler that it will hold a Public Hearing on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, at 2 PM, at the Redevelopment Authority
of the City of Butler office, 129 West Cunningham Street, Butler, PA. This meeting is accessible to individuals

accommodations, please notify the Redevelopment Authority office 72 hours in advance
of the public hearing at 724-283-0116 or racb@zoominternet.net.
The purpose of this Public
Hearing is to discuss the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program in
general, the needs of the City of Butler, the City’s performance under the
previously funded CDB G Program years, and to discuss the required Three-Year
Community Development Plan of Butler City.
The City of Butler is
expected to receive an allocation of $311,848 +/- of 2025 CDBG funds from the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In
addition, the City of Butler anticipates the receipt of zero dollars in program
income during the 2025 program year. At
least 70% of the available funding must be used for activities which benefit
low- and moderate-income persons. The
proposed activities must benefit at least 51% low-moderate income persons in
the service area to qualify as a low-moderate income project. At this time the application submission
deadline has not been announced by the PA Department of Community and Economic
Development (DCED).
The following types of
activities may be eligible for funding under the CDBG Program: water & sewer line replacement and
improvements; housing rehabilitation; construction of affordable housing;
construction/ reconstruction of public/community facilities; recreational
facilities,; public services that are new or provide quantifiable increases in
the delivery of services; street improvements; historic preservation; removal
of architectural barriers; code enforcement; economic development; acquisition
and relocation; clearance and demolition; general administration, planning,,
audit (if required), and preparation of the CDBG application.
If the City of Butler would
undertake activities that result in the displacement of families or
individuals, then the City of Butler policy for minimizing such displacement would
be in effect. The City of Butler is
responsible for replacing all low- and moderate-income housing units that may
be demolished or converted as a result of the use of CDBG funds.
All interested citizens are
encouraged to attend and will be offered the opportunity to give oral testimony
at the Public Hearing and/or to present written comments concerning the needs
of the City of Butler‘s proposed CDBG Program activities, the prior use of CDBG
funds, as well as the CDBG Program in general.
Proposals and comments may be submitted to the Redevelopment Authority
of the City of Butler, 129 West Cunningham Street, Butler, PA 16001or racb@zoominternet.net by Noon, June 25, 2025.
