Mecklenburg County would like your participation in the review of the FY 14-18 Five Year Consolidated Plan and the FY 14 Annual Action Plan for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. These annual documents are required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in order to receive federal assistance to address housing, economic development, and community development issues. The Consolidated Plan prioritizes funding needs over a five year period that will address economic, physical, and human development needs in Mecklenburg County.  The Annual Action Plan is a planning document Mecklenburg County submits each year to HUD detailing how the County proposes to spend the CDBG funds during the next program year.
