Box Elder County will hold a public hearing on Oct. 21, 2026, regarding the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Small Cities Program, according to a Oct. 9 notice.
The hearing is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. at the Box Elder County Courthouse located at 1 South Main in Brigham City, Utah, within the Commission Chambers.
The purpose of the scheduled hearing is to provide citizens with pertinent information about the CDBG program and allow for discussion regarding possible applications. The session will cover expected funding allocations in the region, program requirements, and eligible activities.
Box Elder County is eligible to apply for funding through the Utah Department of Workforce Services under the CDBG Small Cities Program. This is a federally funded program administered by the State of Utah's Housing and Community Development Division (HCD). Eligibility for the county depends on meeting applicable program requirements.
The CDBG Program can fund a variety of activities, including the construction of public facilities and works such as fire stations or water and sewer lines. Additionally, the program can fund the acquisition of real property and the provision of public services, such as homeless shelters or food banks.
For individuals requiring special accommodations, including auxiliary communicative aids and services, the county requests notification at least three days prior to the hearing. Requests should be directed to Marla Young, Box Elder County Clerk, at 1 South Main, Brigham City, Utah 84302.
Individuals with speech or hearing impairments may utilize Relay Utah by dialing 711, or Spanish Relay Utah at 1.888.346.3162.
If Box Elder County decides to move forward with a CDBG funding application, a second public hearing will be held at a later time to discuss the specific project.
