The agenda for the February 11, 2026 Mableton City Council regular meeting includes consideration of the Proposed 2028 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) Project List.

The council will also take up the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Joint Agreement.

Learn more about the CDBG program in the section of this article below the council agenda.

According to the HUD website:

A joint agreement between an entitlement grantee and an urban county permits the urban county to administer an entitlement grantee’s CDBG program in addition to its own. A cooperation agreement allows an urban county to carry out eligible activities in participating units of general local government (UGLGs) where it cannot undertake essential community development and housing assistance activities. Therefore, UGLGs cannot have joint agreements with urban counties. Only an entitlement grantee may have a joint agreement with an urban county.

About the Community Development Block Grant program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development administers the Community Development Block grant program.

The HUD website describes the program as follows:

The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program provides annual grants on a formula basis to states, cities, and counties to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons. The program is authorized under Title 1 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, Public Law 93-383, as amended 42 U.S.C. 5301 et seq. The program was designed to reinforce several important values and principles of community development:

• CDBG’s flexibility empowers people and communities to design and implement strategies tailored to their own needs and priorities.
• CDBG’s emphasis on consolidated planning expands and strengthens partnerships among all levels of government and the private sector in enhancing community development.
• CDBG’s technical assistance activities and set-aside for grantees builds the capacity of these partners.
