Birmingham Mayor Bernard Kincaid presents City's proclamation of Community Development Week to Harold Cole, Community Planning and Development Director.

Mr. Cole addressed the mayor, city council and about 100 Birmingham citizens to speak of the vast amount of CDBG funding HUD had provided to Birmingham and of some of the wonderful projects that had been undertaken with these funds. This year's event was particularly significant in Birmingham because Mayor Kincaid presented the Harold Cole, Birmingham HUD Office Community Planning and Development Director, a ceremonial key to the city for his years of work with the Community Development office.

This year, Birmingham's CDBG program continues to support many programs that provide for community and economic development growth and decent, safe and affordable housing to families in need.

Harold Cole speaks before the Mayor, City Council and Birmingham residents on the benefits of HUD's CDBG Program.

Birmingham HUD Office CPD Director, Harold Cole is presented a ceremonial key to the City of Birmingham by Mayor Bernard Kincaid.
