                                  NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

The Village of Colonie will hold a public hearing on March 7, 2022 at 6:30 p.m. at Village Hall, 2 Thunder
Road Albany, NY 12205 for the purpose of hearing public comments on the Village of Colonie’s
community development needs, and to discuss the possible submission of one or more Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG-CV) CARES applications for the 2020 program year.

New York State Homes and Community Renewal (HCR) is administering over $127 Million in CDBG-
CV funding and will make funds available to eligible local governments for housing, economic
development, public facilities, public infrastructure, and planning activities, with the principal purpose of
benefitting low/moderate income persons. The hearing will provide further information about the CDBG-
CV program and will allow for citizen participation in the development of the proposed grant application
and/or to provide technical assistance to develop alternate proposals. The proposed grant application may
request up to approximately $2 million in 2020 CDBG-CV funding to address vital and immediate needs
and to prepare for future pandemic events, the Village proposes very important projects: HVAC and
Touchless access/fixture upgrades for the Senior Community Center. Comments on the CDBG-CV
program or proposed project(s) will be received at this time. The hearing is being conducted pursuant to
Section 570.486, Subpart I of the CFR and in compliance with the requirements of the Housing and
Community Development Act of 1974, as amended.

Assistance under the Community Development Block Grant Program must meet one of three
national objectives: benefit to low and moderate-income persons, elimination of slums and blight
or urgent needs affecting the health and safety of the community. No less than seventy percent
(70%) of grant funds must be used for activities benefiting low and moderate-income persons and
the benefit area must contain at least fifty-one percent (51%) low- and moderate-income residents.

All interested persons are strongly encouraged to attend this public hearing and will be given an
opportunity to be heard.

Questions, comments or public review after the Public Hearings, but before the formal submission
of the application, can be arranged by calling or writing the Village of Colonie 2 Thunder Road
Albany, NY 12205, Tel. 518-869-7562. After submission, a copy of the application will be
available for public inspection at the Village Office.
