RESOLUTION
Whereas, the week of March 27 - April 1, 1999 has been designated as National
Community Development Week, Augusta-Richmond County, GA is a participant in the
Community Development Grant Program which funds a myriad of social service,
economic development, and housing programs in this community, and
Whereas, in this community and in communities throughout the nation, twenty-four
years of Community Development Block Grant program funding has developed a strong
network of relationships between this local government, residents, and the many non-
profit agencies that provide services and help make possible our commitment to those
neighborhoods, and
Whereas, this community recognizes that the Community Development Block Grant
program is a partnership of federal, state, and local government, business, non-profit
and community efforts, and that the services funded by the Federal CDBG program,
administered by the local government and often delivered by local non-profit
organizations, relies heavily on the dedication of and good will of our combined efforts,
Therefore Be It Resolved, that during National Community Development Week
1999, this community will give special thanks and recognition to all participants whose
hard work and devotion to the neighborhood and their low- and moderate-income
residents help insure the quality and effectiveness of the Community Development
Block Grant program, and of its vital importance to the community and to the people
who live in its lower income neighborhoods, and
Be It Further Resolved, that copies of this resolution be conveyed to the appropriate
elected and appointed officials of the Federal Government and that this community's
name, and the names of its non-profit service providers, be added to the roll of those
committed to the preservation of full funding of the Community Development Block
Grant program and maintenance of its essential features over the course of the next
session of Congress.
