December 17, 1982 <br />Honorable Raymond Hanson <br />Mayor of Little Canada <br />515 Little Canada Road <br />Little Canada, MN 55117 <br />Dear Mayor Hanson: <br />U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development <br />Minneapolis St. Paul Area Office, Region V <br />220 Second Street South <br />Bridge Place Building <br />Minneapolis, Minnesota 55401 <br />SUBJECT: Community Development Block Grant <br />1982 Small Cities Program Competition <br />The HUD Minneapolis Area Office has completed its review of applications <br />for funding through the 1982 CDBG Small Cities program. I regret to inform <br />you that we were unable to fund your application. We received 115 applications <br />totalling over $65,000,000 competing for about $14,900,000 in available funds. <br />The time and energy spent by you and your community in preparing your <br />application is laudatory, and we believe, worthwhile. It is encouraging to <br />see communities such as yours willing to take steps to improve themselves. <br />We wish you success with your future Community Development efforts. <br />Starting in 1983, the CDBG Small Cities program will be administered by <br />the State of Minnesota through the Department of Energy, Planning and Develop- <br />ment's Office of Local Government. You may wish to contact them for informa- <br />tion on their 1983 Small Cities program. Their phone number is (612) 296 -2755. <br />The State of Minnesota has already announced their 1983 application deadline <br />to be February 1, 1983. <br />Enclosed you will find a rating sheet for each project you submitted. <br />Time constraints in completing our rating process prevented us from providing <br />detailed review comments on the rating sheets. However, we are more than <br />willing to discuss our review of your application with you by letter, over <br />the phone, or in our office. If you wish to discuss your application with <br />us, please contact the Community Planning and Development Division at (612) <br />349 -3025. <br />Thank you for your participation in HUD's Small Cities competition. <br />Again, I regret that we could not fund more applications, such as yours. <br />Sincerely, <br />icsK <br />Robert B. Gerber <br />Acting Area Manager <br />Enclosure <br />cc: Mr. Joseph Chlebeck <br />
