DALTON —
The Dalton City Council is scheduled to vote tonight on a plan to spend more than $400,000 in federal community development block grant (CDBG) money it will receive this year.
The city held public hearings on the plan last month, and officials must submit it to the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The biggest project on the plan is the renovation of the Dalton Community Center. The plan calls for $260,000 in CDBG money to go to that. The project is expected to cost $4.3 million and will also be funded by bonds and from the recreation department’s reserve.
The plan also calls for the following projects to be funded:
• Boys and Girls Club, outdoor playground, $10,000
• Family Support Council, bathroom and file room renovations, $10,000
• Dalton-Whitfield Senior Center, roof replacement, $6,000
• Action Ministries, transitional housing, $7,000
• Dalton-Whitfield Community Development Corp., housing counseling management program, $5,000
• Family Promise, case management for homeless families, $7,000
• Northwest Georgia Family Crisis Center, residential assistance, $8,000
• Whitfield County-Dalton Day Care Center, tuition assistance program, $7,000
The council is also slated to vote on measures to merge its building and zoning appeals boards with those of Whitfield County. The city and county have already merged their building and zoning departments and enforcement.
