Escalante City will hold a public hearing on Nov. 17, 2026, to discuss the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Small Cities Program. The meeting is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. at 65 North Center, Escalante Utah.
The hearing aims to provide citizens with information regarding the CDBG program and allow for discussions concerning possible projects. According to a public notice, the session will cover program requirements, eligible activities, and expected funding allocations within the region.
The CDBG program is a federally funded initiative administered by the State of Utah, Division of Housing and Community Development (HCD). Potential activities funded by the program include the construction of public works and facilities, such as fire stations, water and sewer lines, and the acquisition of real property. The program may also fund public services like food banks or homeless shelters.
If Escalante City decides to apply for CDBG funding, a second public hearing will be held at a later time to discuss specific projects.
Individuals requiring special accommodations for the hearing should notify Stephanie Steed at 65 North Center Street, Escalante Utah 84726 at least three days prior to the event. Individuals with speech or hearing impairments may contact Relay Utah by dialing 711.
