Revised Drafts of CDBG Plans
The Department of Planning and Development is preparing the 2018-2020 Consolidated Plan and 2018 Annual Action Plan for the City’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. Designated as a CDBG entitlement community by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the City annually qualifies for grant funding from HUD for housing and community development projects. In order to receive funding, the City is required to submit a Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan that outline community needs and how grant funds will be prioritized. A revised draft of the 2018-2020 Consolidated Plan and 2018 Annual Action Plan will be available for public comment beginning on April 16, 2018. The 30-day public comment period will close after May 16, 2018. A public hearing will be held on April 16, 2018 from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM in the Mayor’s Conference Room at City Hall where the draft Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan will be available for public review and comment. The content presented at the public hearing will be available, upon request, at any time during the public comment period. Copies of the draft Plans will also be available in the Clerk’s office and Planning and Development office/website. Community input is an essential part of the CDBG planning process. Dunkirk residents are encouraged to share their comments on the plans. Any questions or comments should be directed to Matt Bourke, Community Development Planner by email at mbourke@cityofdunkirk.com or phone at 716-366-9878.
BOIL WATER ADVISORY LIFTED FOR ALL DUNKIRK WATER CUSTOMERS
The City of Dunkirk and The Chautauqua County Department of Health and Human Services announced today that the boil water and water conservation advisories in effect since Thursday March 29, 2018 for customers served by the City of Dunkirk water supply is now lifted. The affected area included the City of Dunkirk and water districts in the towns of Dunkirk and Sheridan. Water samples collected on March 29 and 30 from the affected area show that the water is safe to drink and can now be used for all purposes. Construction at the City of Dunkirk’s water plant caused a large leak on March 28 that could have allowed contaminants to enter the system. The leak was repaired the same day but as a precaution, the Chautauqua County Department of Health and Human Services placed the City on a boil water advisory.
The City of Dunkirk and The Chautauqua County Department of Health and Human Services thank all affected water customers for their cooperation and patience while the boil water advisory was in effect, and commend all those involved in the water emergency for working together to manage the crisis and repair the leak in such a timely manner.
