At the March 3, 2021, City Council meeting, the Council approved staffs’ recommendation of the CDBG projects and acceptance of such CDBG monies through an agreement between the City and the County.
Each fiscal year, the City of Riviera Beach (City) receives an award of federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds through Palm Beach County (County). This award of monies is transmitted to the City via the County because the City is not categorized as an entitlement entity due to the size of its population.
Staff has been working with the County to finalize these contracts for CDBG monies approved on March 3, 2021 and the County requests that a City resolution be approved as part of the agreement. The County will be taking the City’s agreement, along with other municipalities to the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners in October.
