Clerk Schweickert explained that this hearing was called to discuss the Neighborhood Preservation Program and she turned the meeting over to Kathy Whitford.

Kathy Whitford explained page by page, the draft of the AuSable Township Neighborhood Preservation Program, as prepared by the Northeast Michigan Community Service Agency, Inc., including the AuSable Township Neighborhood Preservation Resolution.  She also explained that the County allotment for the CDBG was $300,000.00 for a two-year period and that was for all of the Townships.  This program is offering AuSable Township $500,000.00, which is a lot of money to be used for many wonderful improvements to our parks, sidewalks, and the rehabilitation for housing.

Marcia Hopcroft pointed out that after this two-year period when we spend this money, if this becomes available again, we are now the ground floor to get a second two-year $500,000.00 grant.

This public hearing was advertised in the Oscoda Press and posted on the door of the AuSable Township Hall, 311 Fifth Street.
