The City of Daleville will sponsor a public hearing on May 19, 2016, 4:30pm at City Hall to discuss the submission of an application for the 2016 Community Development Block Grant program.  The city is interested in obtaining all citizens' input on community development needs.  The city needs as much local participation as [possible in order to reflect the true desire of the community as a whole, as well as the comments relating to the proposed project application.  The State has established a maximum application request for each funding category.  Activities that are eligible for funding include the improvement of public works, public facilities, housing rehabilitation, and others allowed by law.  At least 51% of the funds must be used to benefit low- and moderate-income persons.  No displacement of persons will be proposed. The city is proposing to construct water, drainage, and street improvements.  This project will benefit areas in Battle Part Estates (Patton Dr., Stillwell Dr., McArthur Dr., and Clark St.) and Morris Byrd Subdivision (Marnette Dr., Vita St., and Myrtle St.).  The project, if funded, will benefit a majority of low and moderate income residents.  All citizens, including those in the targeted area, are encouraged to attend in order to comment on the proposed activities.For more information, or if you require special accommodations at  the hearing, contact City of Daleville at 334-598-2345.

With few questions and no resistance during last week’s public hearing, held by the Daleville Planning Commission, the board unanimously approved an updated zoning ordinance for the city. The ordinance now goes to the city council for review and public hearing before final approval by city leaders.
