NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
FOR MICHIGAN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG)
FUNDING FOR PROPOSED HOUSING REHABILITATION PROJECT

The Wheeler Township Board will conduct a public hearing on Tuesday, September 9, 2025 at 7:00 PM at 8510 E. Monroe Road, Wheeler, Ml 48662 for the purpose of affording citizens an opportunity to examine and submit comments on the proposed application for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG).
Wheeler Township proposes to use CDBG funds in the amount of $1,500,000 for rehabilitation of owner-occupied single-family homes. All activities, upon completion, will benefit low- to moderate-income households. Zero persons will be displaced as a result of the proposed activities. These funds are intended to benefit the residents of the Township directly, improving the overall condition of housing in the city and ensuring that those in financial hardship are not left behind.
Further information, including a copy of the Gratiot County Master Plan and draft CDBG application, is available for review. To inspect the documents please contact Laura Palombi (laura@lionbearventures.com). Citizen views and comments on the proposed application are welcome. Comments may be submitted in writing through September 9, 2025, or made in person at the public hearing.
Wheeler Township has a strong record of successfully managing grant funds for community infrastructure, amenities and public safety. This grant project supports efforts to maintain and repair housing in the community, reducing blight and increasing safety.
Wheeler Township submitted an initial Letter of Intent to apply for the CDBG grant in May, 2025. A full application is in development and the submission due date is September 17, 2025.
