The city of Powers has an outdated water master plan.

The city will use the $71,960 award to retain the services of a professional engineering firm to prepare a water master plan that is approved by the Oregon Health Authority and Business Oregon.
The city of Yamhill's current sewer facilities plan is nearly 20 years old and is outdated. The city needs to maintain a current facilities plan for orderly planning of infrastructure needs. The city will combine the $150,000 award with local funds to retain the services of a professional engineering firm to prepare a Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and Business Oregon approved wastewater facility plan.

With the above awards, the IFA has awarded all of the department's available CDBG funding and will not be accepting applications for the CDBG program's first quarter, competitive application round. Once the department receives the 2014 allocation of funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) we will announce when applications will again be invited.
The program serves the non-metropolitan cities and counties of Oregon with funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
