Every five years the City completes the Consolidated Plan, which describes the needs and available resources for affordable housing and development in the community. The plan also establish the priorities and strategies to meet those needs. These needs are carried out through the Annual Action Plan, which provides a concise summary of the actions, activities and specific federal and non-federal resources that will be used every year to address the priority needs and specific goals. The City will focus on housing, and economic development.
The City strives for community-wide participation. All comments will be considered in the plan.
