The City of Fayette will hold a public hearing on July 22, 2026, at 5:30 p.m., at City Hall, located at 117 South Main Street, Fayette, MO, to discuss the City’s submission of a competitive cycle grant application for the Fiscal Year 2026 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. The City is interested in obtaining all citizens input on community development needs within the city. As part of the hearing process, citizens will be asked to verbally assist in the completion of a Needs Assessment document. The document will detail what the residents feel are the strengths and weaknesses of the community. Additionally, the hearing will provide a forum to discuss the impacts of the project on the environment and the environment on the project. The City needs as much local participation as possible in order to reflect the true desires of the community as a whole, as well as the comments relating to the proposed project application. The State has established a maximum application request for each funding category.
Activities that are eligible for funding include the improvement of Community Facilities, Demolition, General Infrastructure, and others allowed by law. At least 51% of the funds must be used to benefit low-and-moderate income persons. No displacement of persons is anticipated. The City of Fayette is proposing to make street and stormwater repairs to West Walnut and West Depot and Lake Streets from S. Cleveland to South Church Street and Reynolds Street from North Mulberry Street to Leonard Avenue.
The total cost is estimated at $895,137. The City proposes utilizing $369,137 in City funds from its Capital Improvement account as a cash match and $1,000 of in-kind administrative work with the balance of $525,000 to come from CDBG. This project, if funded, will benefit 59.02% low/moderate income persons. All citizens, including those in the targeted area, are encouraged to attend to comment on the proposed activities.
