HEARING ON LEWIS COUNTY
MICROENTERPRISE ASSISTANCE
PROGRAM
In 2023 Lewis County submitted an application
for funding under the Community Development Block Grant (NYS CDBG) program
that is administered by the New York State Office of Community Renewal. The
County received an award of $300,000 to administer the Lewis County Microenterprise
Assistance Program #636ME544-24. The
beneficiaries of this program are people with low or moderate incomes, and
the funding has helped bring projects to completion, creating and expanding
businesses that benefit and employ LMI individuals. All recipients of NYS CDBG funds must
meet the citizen participation requirements at 24 CFR 570.486 and New York
State’s Citizen Participation Plan, as amended which require recipients to
follow a citizen participation plan providing for one public hearing prior
to the submission of an application for funding and one public hearing, if
awarded, to be held during the administration of the grant to solicit
comments on the effectiveness of the program’s administration. This public hearing will be held on April
7th, 2026, at 5:00 PM at the Lewis County Courthouse, Board of
Legislators Chambers, 7660 North State Street, Lowville, NY 13367. This hearing will provide persons with
the opportunity to review the amount of CDBG funds that were made
available; the activities undertaken; and progress toward program goals and
objectives. This location is handicap accessible and can accommodate persons with physical disabilities. Interpretive arrangements can be provided
