The Cheverly council voted July 9 to empower town staff to continue the town’s participation in the Prince George’s County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) urban county program for upcoming federal fiscal years.
Mr. Dwayne Galloway summarized the advantages and considerations of continuing the partnership, noting that parts of the town are eligible for CDBG-funded infrastructure and that the town has previously used more than $400,000 in CDBG funds for capital improvement projects. “We’ve used over $400,000 in CDBG funding to do CIP projects, which obviously is very beneficial to the town,” Mr. Galloway said.
Councilmember Garces made the motion to empower Mr. Galloway to enter and renew the agreement; Councilmember Tanzi seconded. The council asked a few procedural questions (staff indicated applications are typically due around October), and the council voted in favor. The chair announced, “The ayes have it,” and Mr. Galloway was authorized to execute the agreement.
Town staff said a separate CDBG grant will fund resurfacing of courts at Boyd Park and that further details on schedule will be provided as contractor timing and asphalt prices are finalized.
What happens next: staff will proceed with executing the cooperation agreement and prepare any municipal paperwork required by Prince George’s County; the town expects to apply in the typical October application cycle and to provide more scheduling information on the Boyd Park resurfacing at an upcoming meeting.
