A public hearing will be held on Thursday, September 19, 2024, at 6 p.m. at the Third Floor Courtroom of the Lonoke County Courthouse located at 301 N. Center St., Lonoke, AR 72086 to identify and prioritize the community needs of Lonoke County, determining whether an application for Arkansas Community and Economic Development Program (ACEDP) funds should be developed and if so, for what community need. Also, comments on proposed project activities will be discussed, especially those with possible impacts on the community, should the project receive funding.
Lonoke County officials ask participants to please use the back entrance of the building at the elevator.
ACEDP funds are federal assistance received by the State of Arkansas and administered by the Arkansas Economic Development Commission. These funds will be made available to cities and counties according to need and can be used for community facilities, public infrastructure, or economic development, but must address one of the following objectives:
1. Provide benefits to low and moderate-income families,
2. Aid in the prevention of slums and blight, or
3. Meet other community needs, which pose a serious, immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community where no other funding is available to meet such needs.
All residents of Lonoke County are encouraged to attend the hearing and participate in the community development process. Lonoke County with CAPDD will provide technical assistance in developing proposals by groups representing low- and moderate-income persons.
Individuals requiring physical or sensory accommodations including interpreter service, Braille, large print, or recorded materials, contact Tanya Childers at 902 N. Center Street, Lonoke, AR 72086 no later than September 12, 2024. Accommodations will be made for persons with disabilities and non-English speaking individuals provided that five-day notice is received by Lonoke County.
