The Nebraska Department of Economic Development (DED) has awarded $480,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to the City of Arapahoe through the 2024 Tourism Development opportunity.
The CDBG program provides funds to help communities undertake projects that enhance economic well-being, local vitality, quality of life, and public health and safety. The program is federally funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). DED administers the CDBG program on behalf of Nebraska’s non-entitlement communities. The entitlement communities of Lincoln, Omaha, Bellevue, and Grand Island work directly with HUD to administer the CDBG program in their own communities.
