Consultation has concluded

The City of Stillwater is seeking public input on how to allocate federal funding it should receive for the benefit of people with low to moderate incomes.

Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) projects are financed in whole or in part by funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development as administered by the Oklahoma Department of Commerce.

The primary national objective of the CDBG program is to develop communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment.

The CDBG grant is typically around $100,000. With the required one-to-one match, the project will total around $200,000. Projects and funding are approved by the Stillwater City Council and administered by the City of Stillwater.

Projects and activities that CDBG typically fund include the following:

  • Economic development
  • Park and playground equipment
  • Water and wastewater system improvements
  • Public facilities such as community centers, museums or libraries
  • Fire protection
  • Streets
  • Housing demolition
  • Senior citizen centers
  • Gas and electrical system improvements
  • Stormwater drainage improvements

Recent CDBG projects include:

  • 2011: Waterline replacement in the area of Doty, Arrington and Berry streets and 3rd Avenue.
  • 2012: Sewer line replacement between 4th and 6th avenues along Pine, Gray, Stanley and Blakely streets.
  • 2013: Stormwater drainage improvements in the area along 19th Avenue and Sangre Road and Stonegate Avenue and Raintree Drive.
  • 2014: Leigh and Hall drainage channel restoration and improvements phase one.
  • 2015: Leigh and Hall drainage channel improvements phase two, and Tucker Addition, Fern, Chester and Hartford water line replacements.
  • 2016: ADA-compliant sidewalks, crosswalks and bus stops along Airport Road from Wings of Hope Family Crisis Services.
  • 2017: Expansion of skate park at Strickland Park.
  • 2018: New all-inclusive playground addition to Strickland Park.
