FRANKLIN COUNTY
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON APPLICATION FOR
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM

A HUD required public hearing will be held on

Thursday, September 10, 2026 at 5:30pm at Franklin County Courthouse
located at 607 E. Main St., Charleston, AR 72933

for the purpose of identifying and prioritizing the community needs of Franklin 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.

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 housing rehabilitation, community facilities, or economic development, but must address one of the following objectives:

1. Provide benefit to low and moderate income families,
2. Aid in the prevention of slum 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 Franklin County are encouraged to attend the hearing and participate in the community development process. Franklin County will provide technical assistance in developing proposals by groups representing low- and moderate-income persons.

IMPORTANT DISTRIBUTION NOTICE

For today’s 4:00 PM distribution, the parking lot will not open until 2:00 PM due to the heat.

For everyone’s safety, please wait until at least 2:00 PM to arrive. Please do not arrive early and park along the side of the road while waiting for the lot to open. We know everyone wants to get in line, but having vehicles waiting along the roadway creates a safety concern.

This is simply about keeping everyone safe while also limiting the amount of time you have to sit in the heat.

Thank you for understanding and helping us take care of one another. ❤️
