City of Mankato Seeks Input on Community Development Block Grant Five-Year Plan
In-person events on Feb. 20 and online survey available through March 1.
The City of Mankato invites residents to participate in community engagement events to help shape the future of our City using Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding. The CDBG program, managed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), provides essential funding to the City of Mankato to support decent housing, develop suitable living environments, and expand economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income residents.
The City of Mankato is seeking input from community members to help shape the new Five-Year Plan for 2025-2029. By understanding community needs, identifying opportunities, and evaluating existing programs, we aim to ensure that our plan reflects the priorities of Mankato residents.
Two Ways to Participate:
In-Person Facilitated Discussions:
Join us for a community engagement event where you can share your ideas, priorities, and concerns regarding affordable housing, economic development, infrastructure, and public services. Your participation will ensure that the CDBG plan reflects the true needs and priorities of our community. Both sessions will be identical, so please join us at the time that is most convenient for you.
Date: February 20
Time: 1:00 p.m. OR 5:30 p.m.
Location: Mankato Room (First Floor), Intergovernmental Center, 10 Civic Center Plaza
What to Expect:
- Facilitated Discussion: Engage with City of Mankato staff and fellow community members in a guided conversation about our city’s future.
- Prioritize Initiatives: Help prioritize initiatives for affordable housing, economic development, and public services.
Share Your Ideas: Bring your innovative ideas on new ways to use funds to improve our community.
Online Survey:
If you are unable to attend the in-person events, you can still provide your input by completing an online survey on Every Voice Mankato. Please complete the survey by March 1.
