City of Clearlake receives $500,000 grant for Code Enforcement efforts
Making Clearlake a visibly cleaner city is one of the priorities of the Clearlake City Council as identified in the Clearlake Strategic Plan and the Code Enforcement Division is a major factor in making those visual improvements to blighted properties, according to City Manager Greg Folsom.
Thanks to the Community Development Block Grant, or CDBG, program, Code Enforcement will continue to make a positive impact on the community, Folsom said.
Folsom said that on Monday the city received written notification that the California Department of Housing and Community Development has awarded the city a $500,000 CDBG grant to continue Code Enforcement activities.
“Obtaining this grant to continue supporting our Code Enforcement is critical to achieving our goal to make Clearlake a cleaner city,” said Mayor Bruno Sabatier.
“We are extremely excited to be awarded $500,000 in CDBG funds for Code Enforcement,” added Folsom. “We have recently reorganized Code Enforcement to be under the supervision of the police department to give our Code Enforcement Officers even more tools in combating blight in our city. These funds will go a long way toward our Code Enforcement efforts over the next several years.”
