Beginning August 12, 2024, through September 13, 2024, Allegheny County Economic Development (ACED) will be soliciting pre-applications for construction related projects for its 2025-26 (Year 51 cycle) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. Per ACED guidelines, if your municipality is a member of a Council of Governments (COG), all applications should be submitted through said COG. Every QVCOG member community is eligible to apply for CDBG funding for “non-income based” projects exceeding $20,000 in cost such as ADA accessibility improvement projects and blight remediation. Additionally, member communities may submit pre-applications for general recreation, road reconstruction, and sewer and water projects with the completion of a concentrated household income survey (see attached). All are encouraged to consider potential projects with their municipal engineers & staff. The QVCOG is happy to facilitate meetings with municipalities to discuss the pre-application process. Pre-applications will be due to the QVCOG by end of business on Friday, September 6th. Below you will find the CDBG Pre-Application link which will need to be completed by you or your municipal engineer in advance of September 6th. Additionally, I have included the GIS based grant application and awards map which outlines recent CDBG & GEDTF projects. This advanced notice should allow ample time for pre-application meetings, questions, etc. CDBG Year 51 Pre-Application Application Survey: https://forms.gle/55xNDb99oCDZRaab6 GIS map of past applications and grant awards: https://qvcog-qvcog.hub.arcgis.com/pages/maps
