The Town of Mantua will hold a public hearing on Nov. 19, 2026, to discuss the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Small Cities Program, according to a notice published Nov. 10.
The meeting is scheduled for 5:00 P.M. at 409 North Main Street in Mantua.
The purpose of the hearing is to provide citizens with information regarding the CDBG program and to allow for discussion of possible projects. This session will cover expected funding allocations in the region, program requirements, and eligible activities.
Potential activities funded by the CDBG program include the construction of public works and facilities, such as fire stations or water and sewer lines. The program may also fund the acquisition of real property and public services, including homeless shelters or food banks.
The CDBG Small Cities Program is a federally funded initiative administered by the State of Utah, Division of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The Town of Mantua is eligible to apply for this funding provided the applicant meets all applicable program requirements.
Council members may participate in the meeting via teleconference in accordance with Utah Code Annotated 52-4-207. The anchor location for the meeting will be Mantua Town Hall at 409 North Main St.
If the Town of Mantua decides to apply for CDBG funding, a second public hearing will be held at a later time to discuss the specific project.
