Boyles mentioned an update of local projects from the legislative allocation and will return with more information on how it will be allocated. City Manager T.

City Manager Tim Bolduc mentioned he is submitting a one -million -dollar allocation for the Affordable Housing project. He said the plan will include 17 2 -bedroom apartments, however, the property is just outside the CRA borders, so we cannot use CRA funds. If we get more funding, we will add six one - bedroom apartments, as well. Chair N. Boyles asked the Board if they had any comments. Board member D. Capps asked when we will start selling more bricks, and CRA Director E. Roy replied we have had some interest. She added after we replace the bricks, we will sell them again.
