Several topics will be covered, including: the amount of available funds and range of activities available with community development for low to moderate income citizens, the parish plans for minimizing displaced citizens, how the parish has performed in the past with relation to the Community Development Block Grant, and current and future projects funded through this grant.

St. Tammany Parish encourages all residents to attend, particularly those of low to moderate income, or those living in blighted areas. Local businesses and non-profit groups are also encouraged to attend. Public input is an important part of the success of this program.
