Abington to discuss Community Development Block Grant during public hearing on March 4

Abington Township officials announced today that a public hearing to discuss the housing, community, and economic development needs for the township’s FY 2026 Annual Action Plan will be held on Wednesday, March 4 at 10:00am.

According to the notice, the township anticipates a $715,339 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement grant for FY 2026.

“In order to receive these funds, the Township of Abington must prepare a One Year Annual Action Plan for the use of the CDBG funds,” the notice said. “At least 70% of the CDBG funds must benefit low- to moderate-income persons living in the Township of Abington. In preparing its CDBG application, the Township intends to afford residents, local agencies, and interested parties the opportunity to become involved in the planning process.”

An application training session for applications will directly follow the hearing, officials said. More details about the CDBG here.
