Each year, the City of Riverview determines potential projects pursuant to Federal guidelines that meet at least one of the following objectives:

• To provide benefits of using CDBG funding directly to persons of low and moderate income and/or to areas where 51% of the residents are of low and moderate income.
• To facilitate and/or support private (re)investment and development within Riverview.
• To reduce negative environmental impacts.
• To conserve and improve older housing.
• To maintain a high level of performance in the management of all CDBG and non-federally funded programs, while offsetting administrative costs to the General Fund.
• To improve park facilities.
• To provide services to senior citizens and other specifically identified groups of tesidents as defined by Federal law.
• To comply with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as they apply to public places and services.

The Citizens Community Development Advisory Committee meets and considers projects from many different areas, as long as they meet one of the above objectives.  A public hearing is held, usually in late February or early March, to receive public comments regarding the proposed projects prior to the final slate of projects being submitted to Wayne County in the form of an application.

After projects have been approved at the municipal level and forwarded to Wayne County, the monies to support the projects are usually made available by, but not before, July 1.  The program year runs through June of the next year.

The following projects were advanced to Wayne County for the 2006-2007 program year:
