RE: REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS
City of Northampton
Dear Mr. Shumeyko,
Please find enclosed the City of Northampton’s Request for Release of Funds and a copy of the NOI/RROF legal notice for CDBG funded Wheelchair Curb Cut Ramps – Tier 1 Review. CDBG funding
in the amount of $93,257 will be utilized for the first set of Tier II sites. This project will bring existing curb cuts into compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and
American Access Board (AAB) standards. This will be an ongoing project that we may fund with CDBG funds annually and I have set the Tier 1 Review for a five-year period.
No public comments were received for this project during the publication period.
The City of Northampton’s 2019 Action Plan COVID Round III Amendment has been submitted for review and was accepted. Thank you for your attention to this request. Please feel free to
contact me with any questions or concerns you may have at (413) 587-1288 or via email at kbenoit@northamptonma.gov .
Respectfully,
Keith Benoit
Community Development Planer
