Re: American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
RUD's Economic Stimulus Package (CDBG - R)
Middlesex "Urban County" CDBG Program
Dear Mayor Reiman:
RUD has just released guidance on the funding for the Economic
Stimulus Package. These funds are being treated as 2008 program year
funds and your municipality will receive an allocation of $29,970.
Although the current federal regulations governing the CDBG program
remain in full force and effect, HUD is imposing additional
regulations and reporting requirements for anyone who will be
receiving these extra funds and listed below are highlights of some
of the additional rules:
-HUD is strongly urging grantees to use these funds for hard
development costs to stimulate job creation and retention activities.
-A project must be bid within 120 days from the time HUD makes the
funds available to us. Our office is estimating that we will receive
these funds in early August.
-HUD is requiring that your municipality must estimate the number of
full-time and part-time to be created or retained by the project.
Middlesex County... "The Greatest Couuty ill the Laud"
-Ten days after each calendar quarter a report must be submitted to
our office detailing funds obligated or expended, completion status
of the project, the number of jobs created or retained and rationale
for funding the project.
-Our office will draft an agreement that must be executed by each
municipality receiving these funds.
In order for your municipality to receive these funds please adopt a
Council Resolution choosing your specific project and send completed
Project Proposal CDBG - R, copy enclosed, to our office as soon as
possible.
Your municipality can choose a new project or an existing CDBG
project. If you elect to fund an existing project these funds must be
reported on and kept completely separate from any other CDBG
projects.
Please note that your municipality is not required to hold a public
hearing to be eligible to receive these funds.
please return the completed project proposal to our office by May 18,
2009.
Our office is under a very strict timetable and must submit this
amended application to HUD by June 5, 2009 so if you know the project
your municipality is going to fund please contact this office
immediately.
If you have any questions please contact Paul Buckley at
732-745-3950
Thank your for your cooperation in this matter.
