“CDBG funds made it possible for Monroe to install sidewalks in our Concord Avenue area community, giving the residents safe connectivity to needed food and services with a direct walking path to our downtown and connectivity to our most vibrant business corridors,” said Teresa V.

The next logical step to tie all this together was to develop a Strategic Plan, which was adopted in May of this year.”
