City Notes, Part 1: Community Safety Net

There will be a chance for the public to speak about the change in policy for the distribution of Appleton's federal community development block grant award, an award that has decreased significantly over the last decade. Last month, the Council--in a somewhat contentious meeting--agreed to a new distribution of funds, in which more than 80% of the grant money would be sent to city programs. I think this was a necessary solution, particularly the importance given to the Appleton Housing Authority. I strongly recommend people speak up tomorrow.
