Regional Director Participates in
Dedication Ceremony of School Playground
On September 17, HUD's New England Regional Director Kevin Keogh joined officials
from the city of Portland at the dedication ceremony for the newly reconstructed
Reiche School Playground in Portland, Maine. The Reiche School campus is located
in Portland's historic west end neighborhood and serves one of Portland's most
diverse low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. This playground reconstruction
project was made possible by the use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
funds.
HUD's CDBG grants are distributed by formula to thousands of communities
throughout the country, enabling state and local governments to target their own
economic development priorities and.
"The CDBG program is evidence
of HUD's continued commitment to provide communities with the resources they need
to meet their housing and community development needs," Keogh said.
