City of Greenwood to Receive Community Development Block Grant-Public Facility Grant

Tuesday, July 26th, 2022 -- 12:00 PM

Governor Tony Evers announced the award of nearly $17 million in grants to 18 municipalities across Wisconsin to fund public improvement projects.

The grants, which are administered by the Wisconsin Department of Administration and are called Community Development Block Grant Public Facility grants, award funds for critical public infrastructure projects in low- to moderate-income communities with populations of 50,000 or fewer throughout the state.

Projects include improvements, repairs, or expansions of streets, drainage systems, water and sewer systems, and sidewalks. One local community receiving the grant includes the City of Greenwood for $1,000,000 for street and utility infrastructure improvements.

Wisconsin receives Community Development Block Grant funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and distributes those funds toward public facility, housing, and economic development projects that benefit individuals with low to moderate incomes.

A total of $14,690,058 in match funding from applicants will be leveraged with the CDBG-PF 2022 awards. The Department of Administration’s Division of Energy, Housing and Community Resources administers Wisconsin’s Small Cities Community Development Block Grant program.
