LHHA is currently not able to utilize the CDBG funds awarded due to plat -related issues that need to be resolved prior to commencing construction. The contract term expired on December 31, 2012, and LHHA has been unable to use these funds due to a re -platting requirement which will take more than 18 months to complete. The Administration recommends the de -obligation of CDBG funds from LHHA in the amount of $53,000, and the allocation of said funds to the Department of Community and Economic Development CDBG Economic Development Reserve account for future activities.
