Joseph Town will host its first public hearing regarding the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program on Nov. 11, 2026. According to a Oct. 26 notice, the meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. at the Joseph Town Community Center located at 25 E 100 N.
The hearing is intended to provide citizens with information about the CDBG program and allow for discussions regarding possible projects. Topics for the meeting include eligible activities, program requirements, and expected funding allocations for the region.
Joseph Town is eligible to apply for funding through the CDBG Small Cities Program, which is a federally funded program administered by the State of Utah Division of Housing and Community Development (HCD). Eligibility for CDBG funding is contingent upon the town meeting applicable program requirements.
The CDBG program can fund various activities, such as the construction of public works and facilities, including fire stations and water and sewer lines. Other eligible uses include the acquisition of real property and the provision of public services, such as homeless shelters or food banks.
In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, individuals requiring special accommodations or auxiliary communicative aids for the hearing should notify Haley Obray or Joseph Town at 25 E 100 N, Joseph UT, at least three days before the meeting. Individuals with speech or hearing impairments may use Relay Utah by dialing 711, or Spanish Relay Utah at 1.888.346.3162.
If Joseph Town decides to proceed with a CDBG funding application, a second public hearing will be held at a later time to discuss specific projects. For more information, contact Haley Obray at 435-527-4394 or via email at jotownclerkho@gmail.com.
