Requesting approval of Resolution to advertise for construction and related activities for all projects identified in all the Urban County Program One year Action Plan, Amendments and state funded projects (GLO, TDA and TDHCA).

Annually the Urban County Program submits the Hidalgo County One year Action Plan to HUD after receiving Commissioner’s Court Approval.  The submitted plans outline the intended use of CDBG, HOME, ESG, Colonia, GLO, TDA and TDHCA funds administered by the Urban County Program. The plan further defines the specific projects to be implemented in terms of scope, location and budget availability.  In an effort to expedite fund expenditures, the Urban County Program is seeking authorization to advertise for the required services to implement these projects at the onset of the program year in order to eliminate repetitive agenda items pertaining to the Plan and to shorten the administrative process for their implementation.
