Title
2022 CDBG Economic Development
Description
The objective of the Economic Development (ED) Opportunity is to assist businesses which expand the state’s economic base and which create quality jobs primarily benefiting employees in the low and moderate-income levels.
CDBG funds will be utilized within the Economic Development Priority Need by a local unit of government for providing communities and counties with resources to assist businesses which expand the state’s economic base and which create quality jobs principally benefiting LMI employees and made available under the LMI CDBG National Objective criteria.
In addition, the CDBG State Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) objective is to provide adequate financing for local development to ensure Nebraska's economic prosperity and to use all resources in a timely manner. The State is responsible for ensuring that program income at the State and local levels is used in accordance with applicable federal laws and regulations. Program income for the state's program under the ED Opportunity is regulated by the provisions of 24 C.F.R. §570.489(e).
During the 2022 Program Year, all activities proposed in applications for CDBG funding in the ED Opportunity must meet the national objective of benefitting low- and moderate-income persons (through the subcategory LMI Jobs).
