The City is required to hold a public hearing before applying for Community Development Block Grant
Neighborhood Stabilization Program funds from the State of Maine Department of Economic and
Community Development. The purpose of this funding is to provide targeted emergency assistance to
State and local governments to acquire and redevelop foreclosed properties that might otherwise
become sources of abandonment and blight. The City is eligible to receive $1,084,873 for this
purpose.
Following the public hearing, the Council may take action on this Order which authorizes the
execution and filing of documents to enable the City's participation in the Neighborhood Stabilization
Program.
The proposed City of Bangor Neighborhood Stabilization Program is scheduled to begin on March 1,
2009.
