The city of Meridian has nearly $500,000 in federal funding to spend to support the city’s moderate- and low-income residents by providing transportation access, housing assistance and expanding the accessibility of public services. The city is seeking input from these residents, who make 80% or less than the area median income of $47,150 for a single-person and $53,900 for two people, about how to use the funds.
The Meridian City Council opened a public hearing during the City Council meeting on Tuesday, April 4, for residents to give testimony on how to distribute the funds. The hearing will be open until Tuesday, April 18. Residents can fill out a survey online or they can reach Crystal Campbell, Meridian’s community development program coordinator, at ccampbell@meridiancity.org.
