Gettysburg Borough Council – CDBG Public Hearing #2 – 8/28/2023
Borough of Gettysburg
Borough Council Public Hearing Agenda
August 28, 2023 – 6:30 PM
Special Council Meeting – Public Hearing on Proposed Use of
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds
2023 BOROUGH OF GETTYSBURG
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM
PROPOSED BUDGETS
Residents of the Borough of Gettysburg are hereby notified that the Gettysburg Borough Council intends to
hold a public hearing at 6:30 PM on Monday, August 28th, 2023 to hear comments from the public on the
Borough’s fiscal year 2023 State Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. Borough Council
intends to consider the proposed FY2023 CDBG Entitlement budgets and application submissions for approval
at the Borough Council meeting immediately following this public hearing.
Gettysburg Borough has been notified by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic
Development that the Borough’s 2023 Entitlement Community Development Block Grant allocation is
$129,141. Gettysburg Borough’s CDBG funds may be used to:
(1) benefit low to moderate income (LMI) persons,
(2) remove slums or blight, or
(3) meet an urgent community need.
FY2023 Entitlement CDBG funds may be used for any eligible activity.
The Council proposes to use the Borough’s allocations for the following activities:
1. ADA curb cuts along various alleys throughout the Borough ‐ $129,141
Total: $129,141
In the event that the Department of Community and Economic Development does not approve a project, or if
requests are withdrawn, funds may be allocated to other eligible projects. The deadline for the County to
submit the FY2023 CDBG Entitlement application on behalf of the Borough to the Commonwealth is October
27, 2023.
It is anticipated that 70% of the approved grant funds will benefit low to moderate income persons. Further, it
is anticipated that none of the proposed activities will result in temporary or permanent displacement of any
households. However, in the event that displacement should occur, the Borough’s policy for minimizing such
displacement would be in effect. Gettysburg Borough is responsible for replacing all low and moderate income
housing units that may be demolished or converted as a result of the use of CDBG funds.
The Council will accept comment on the proposals prior to and at the public hearing. Documents pertaining to
the budgets and CDBG Program are available for inspection at the Gettysburg Borough Municipal Office
Building, 59 East High Street, Gettysburg, PA 17325 during normal business hours, and on the Gettysburg
Borough of Gettysburg

Gettysburg Borough Council Meeting – CDBG Public Hearing #1 – 7/24/2023
NOTICE OF PUBLIC PARTICIPATION MEETING
FOR DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE
USES OF FUNDS FROM THE
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Borough of Gettysburg will conduct a public
participation meeting on Monday, July 24, 2023 at 6:30 PM at a special meeting of the Borough
Council, in order to discuss community needs for funding under the fiscal year 2023 State
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. This meeting’s purpose is to solicit
citizen input on possible activities to be included in these applications, as well as past
performance. The meeting will be held at the Gettysburg Municipal Building, 59 East High
Street, Troxell Council Chambers, Gettysburg, PA 17325
Gettysburg Borough will receive an allocation of $129,141 in FY2023 CDBG funds from the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Gettysburg Borough’s CDBG funds may be used to benefit
a variety of activities including water and sewer systems, streets, housing rehabilitation,
emergency housing assistance, recreation and community facilities, new public services,
historic preservation, removal of architectural barriers, blight removal, economic development,
and administration and planning. The Borough must demonstrate that approved projects (1)
benefit low to moderate income persons, (2) remove slums or blight, or (3) meet an urgent
community need.
The Borough anticipates submitting an application through the County of Adams under the
State FY2023 Entitlement CDBG Program. It is anticipated that no less than 70% of the
approved grant funds will benefit low to moderate income persons. Further, it is anticipated that
none of the proposed activities will result in temporary or permanent displacement of any
households. However, in the event that displacement should occur, the Borough’s policy for
minimizing such displacement would be in effect. Gettysburg Borough is responsible for
replacing all low and moderate income housing units that may be demolished or converted as a
result of the use of CDBG funds.
The purpose of this public hearing is to give citizens an opportunity to make their comments
known regarding what types of eligible activities Gettysburg Borough should apply for under
the State CDBG programs. A separate public meeting will be held August 28, 2023, to approve
the final application and budget allocation amounts.
Anyone requiring special accommodations to participate in the public hearing, or anyone with
limited English language proficiency requiring translation services, should contact Sara Stull,
Assistant Borough Manager, by phone at (717) 334-1160 x240 or by email at
Borough of Gettysburg
