NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

AMENDMENT TO THE 2011 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACTION PLAN

The City of Columbia will hold a public hearing at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, July 18, 2011, in the Council Chambers of the new City Hall, 701 East Broadway. The purpose of this public hearing is to receive citizen input on a proposed amendment to the City’s Action Plan for FY 2011.

The City of Columbia amends its Action Plan whenever it removes a project described in the approved Consolidated Plan, adds a project not previously approved, or substantially changes the purpose, scope, location or beneficiaries of a project.
