Dear Director:
The City of Canton is submitting an application for a public infrastructure grant under the
Community Development Block Grant(CDBG). The grant request is in the amount of
$1,499,957 to be used to replace municipal water main. The benefit to low-to-moderate income
individuals is 61.11%.
I certify that this application meets the eligibility thresholds of Benefit to Low-to-moderate
Income Persons, Threat to Health and Safety and that the community meets the required water or
sewer rate. Further,if not proffering a community-wide benefit,this project will benefit a
service-area that is primarily residential.
Very truly yours,
144;1-4 J
Kent McDowell, Mayor
