City Council Wants More Time to Discuss CDBG Funds

(Toledo, OH)  After the threat of a veto, Toledo city council members want more time to discuss HUD grants. 

City Council Members to Propose More CDBG Spending

Council members Yvonne Harper, Gary Johnson, Nick Komives, and Tyrone Riley introduced an ordinance on Tuesday asking for $245,000 in Community Development Block Grant funding to be split among four organizations.
