Second Public Hearing Notice
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Small Cities Program
Neighborhood Revitalization Category – Urgent Need
The Town of Yankeetown plans to apply to the Florida Department of Commerce for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Small Cities Grant in the amount of $3,000,000 under the Neighborhood Revitalization – Urgent Need category.
The proposed activities and estimated funding amounts are as follows:
Activity Name CDBG Funding National Objective
Grant Administration $150,000 Urgent Need
Engineering / Design / Permitting $250,000 Urgent Need
Main Waterline Repairs & Replacement $2,500,000 Urgent Need
Construction Contingency $100,000 Urgent Need
The Town proposes to replace and repair existing deteriorating ductile iron main waterlines throughout eligible service areas within the Town limits. Many sections of the current system have experienced age-related wear, corrosion, leaks, pressure loss, and increased maintenance needs, creating an urgent need for corrective action. The proposed improvements will protect public health, safety, and welfare by restoring dependable potable water service, improving fire protection flows, reducing water loss, and increasing resiliency against future storm events and infrastructure failures. Work will include replacement of obsolete water mains, valves, fittings, and related infrastructure necessary to modernize the Town’s water distribution system.
The Town of Yankeetown does not expect that anyone will be permanently displaced as a result of these activities. If any persons are displaced, assistance will be provided in accordance with the Town’s anti-displacement and relocation policy, available for review at Town Hall.
