Background Information
The City of North Port has been awarded a Subrecipient Agreement with Sarasota County for the receipt and use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for the Biscayne Sidewalk Construction Project (CIP R25NBS). The grant is contracted to reimburse the City up to $60,000 for construction costs.
The purpose of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds is to create and improve communities by providing housing, economic opportunities, and community services. CDBG funds are primarily used to benefit low- and moderate-income residents.

This is a reimbursable grant, meaning the City will spend first and then request reimbursement from the granting agency.
This contract has been reviewed for form and correctness by City Attorney.
