City Council Approves Resolution for CDBG Participation with Kern County
The City Council is considering Resolution 2016-82, which authorizes the City of McFarland to apply for and cooperate with the County of Kern in the Urban County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. This participation allows the city to receive an annual allocation of CDBG funds for three years, which can be used for public infrastructure, housing rehabilitation, and economic development initiatives. Through this agreement with the county, the city anticipates receiving $100,000 per year, whereas currently, it receives no CDBG funds. The county acts as the agent for the CDBG Urban County participant.
