2013 Action Plan

The Community Development Block Grant Program provides federal funding to address unique community needs. Authorized under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, the program provides annual grants on a formula basis to local governments and states. The City of Johns Creek is eligible for grant funds under the Entitlement Community Program, one of several CDBG programs the Department of Housing and Urban Development offers. The purpose of these grants is to develop viable communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and opportunities to expand economic opportunities, principally for low and moderate income persons.

In accordance with the Consolidated Plan adopted by the Johns Creek City Council on July 29, 2009, the city intends to continue improvements to the Newtown School House on Old Alabama Road for provision of a Senior Center and senior programming for the 2013 Action Year.

We would like to encourage citizen input in the formulation of the 2013 CDBG Action Plan. Through this process other community needs may be established. The initial step is a 30-day comment period that will commence Feb. 11, 2013 and end March 13, 2013. The first Public Hearing will be held Feb. 25, 2013 at the City of Johns Creek City Council Meeting, 12000 Findley Road, Suite 300, and Johns Creek, GA 30097.

Public input is welcome and should be directed to .

A copy of all documents is available in the City Clerk's office at Johns Creek City Hall. They may also be viewed at NE Spruill Oaks Library (9560 Spruill Road) and Robert E. Fulton Library at Ocee (5090 Abbotts Bridge Road).
