This notice is to inform interested persons that the City of Clarksville Office of Housing and Community Development is preparing a Substantial Amendment to the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership Annual Action Plan for Fiscal Year (FY) 2009-2010.  Since we are proposing “To make a change in its allocation priorities” therefore a Substantial Amendment is required under the Code of Federal Regulations; CFR 24, Part 91.505

            Method of distribution of funds;
    (2)   To carry out an activity, using funds from any program covered
           By the consolidated plan (including program income), not previously
           Described in the action plan; or
    (3)  To change the purpose, scope, location, or beneficiaries of an
           Activity.

Citizens and groups may submit written and/or verbal comments on the Substantial Amendment during a 30 day public noticing period beginning January 25, 2010. Comments can also be made at the public meeting to be held on the matter January 25th.

Dear Consumer: January 2009

Preceding meetings with community members confirm that downtown Clarksville needs a “Gathering” place where multiple vendors of local and regional products can sell their wares as well as provide entertainment and educational activities.  Now is the time to start putting those ideas into action!  The key to the success of any market is a core of consumers who will purchase a variety of quality products or service from local vendors. The Clarksville Downtown Market Committee is actively seeking ideas and opinions for this market which will be located in downtown Clarksville.

Would you like to participate? If you are interested, please complete the following survey by February 13th, 2009.  You may complete the hard copy and mail it Karla Kean at the address below or complete the survey online http://www.cityofclarksville.com/HousingDevelopment/Downtown Market-Consumer Survey.php
