Since Marlene Freyler did not attend, Cheryl Behr read a note from the CDFA.
“I am sending this e-mail to clarify CDBG long term Benefit requirements as they relate to the Bradford Community Center. The Town of Bradford received a CDBG Grant in 1998 to develop a Community Center that would serve low to moderate income persons by providing pre-school, youth center and senior center activities. The Community Center is required to benefit low and moderate income individuals for at least 20 years. As I understand it, the Town would like to use the Bradford Community Center for municipal functions i.e. Municipal Administration, police, while the town hall undergoes repairs. As long as the activities being relocated to the Community Center do not hinder the services that are being provided to low and moderate income persons, it would not violate the provisions of the CDBG Grant. I hope this guidance will be useful as the town develops a plan to address the town hall situation.”
Cheryl Behr, Administrator as well as Selectmen understand from this that there will be no cost to the town for their use of the building.
PUBLIC NOTICE:
January 3, 2012 will be the date for signing the Contract for Demolition of the burned house on East Main Street.
