Local Communities to Receive Community Development Block Grant Public Facilities Grants

Thursday, July 27th, 2023 -- 2:00 PM

Gov. Tony Evers announced the award of more than $20 million in grants to 21 municipalities across Wisconsin to fund public improvement projects.

The Community Development Block Grant Public Facilities (CDBG–PF) grants are administered by the Wisconsin Department of Administration (DOA) for critical public infrastructure projects in low- to moderate-income communities with populations of 50,000 or fewer throughout the state.

Projects include improvements, repairs, or expansions of streets, drainage systems, water and sewer systems, sidewalks, and community facilities. Some local communities receiving the funds include the Village of Granton. They will receive $1,000,000 for utility infrastructure improvements. The City of Stanley will receive $478,200 for utility and infrastructure improvements.

Wisconsin receives Community Development Block Grant funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and distributes those funds toward public facility, housing, and economic development projects that benefit individuals with low to moderate incomes.

A total of $31,605,549 in match funding from applicants will be leveraged with the CDBG–PF 2023 awards.
