City to publicize funding plan
By ARNE GREEN Staff Reporter
In conjunction with the sixth anniversary of its community development program, the Lawrence Community Development department has opened a series of four public hearings this month to raise public awareness of the program.
The first hearing will be at 7:30 to
at New York School, 938 New
York St.
Since it began receiving funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development in 1975, the Lawrence CD program has undergone some changes that have allowed it to receive more money during the last three years, according to Lynn Goodell, CD director for Lawrence.
"The first three years we were classified as a small city with an urban renewal program," he said. "The fourth year we went over 50,000 in population and became a large, or entitlement, city."
HUD HAS TWO programs, one for small cities and one for large. Lawrence has been in both, Goodell said yesterday.
Goodell said cities were classified by HUD on criteria which include population, extent of poverty, and the unemployment rate.
The amount of the grants differ
yearly, he said. The first three years, when classified as a "small" city, revenue received $529,000. In 1793 and 1794, the amounts rose to $738,000 and $788,000.
The 1980 budget calls for $839,000.
IN THE PAST, the majority of Lawrence's CD funds have been spent on the improvement of low- and middle-income housing in six areas targeted by the City Commission, said Linda Bray, a member of the CD citizens' advisory board.
The target areas are East Lawrence, Far East Lawrence, North Lawrence, Old West Lawrence, Oread and Pinckney.
"HUD's block grant put the main emphasis on housing," Lubenski said. "We have since perpetuated it because it's an area we feel is in need of improvement. We have had particular difficulty with blight."
According to Goodell, the CD program also is providing grants for areas other than housing. Funds also have been spent for water and sewer lines, sidewalks, park improvements and a senior citizens' center, he said.
The final approval of each year's budget is made by the City Commission upon the recommendations of the city staff and the citizens' advisory board, Lubsenski said. Goodell can, however, grant grants of less than $2,000.
THE ADVISORY BOARD includes volunteers from each target neighborhood.
That system seems to work very well, she said, because it allows for viewpoints from outside the six target areas.
"We want more people to participate in the program," she said. "We try to bend over backward to get people involved."
