Torrey will host a public hearing on October 8, 2026, to discuss Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding options for community projects. The session is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. at the Torrey Fire Bay 1, located at 75 East 100 North.
The hearing will provide citizens with information about the CDBG program and allow for discussion regarding possible applications. Topics expected to be covered include eligible activities, program requirements, and anticipated funding allocations within the region.
CDBG funds can support various activities, such as the construction of public facilities and works, including water and sewer lines or fire stations. The program can also fund real property acquisition and public services like homeless shelters or food banks.
Torrey is eligible to apply to the Utah Department of Workforce Services for funding through the CDBG Small Cities Program. This federally funded program is administered by the State of Utah Housing and Community Development Division (HCD), provided Torrey meets all applicable program requirements.
If Torrey 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. Individuals requiring special accommodations for the hearing should notify Karen Mayne at 75 East 100 North at least three days prior to the meeting.
