COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

On an annual basis, federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement funds are allocated to the City from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to rebuild and revitalize Bristol neighborhoods and support its low- and moderate-income residents.  The Bristol Development Authority (BDA) ensures the funds are used appropriately in accordance with stringent federal guidelines.  BDA manages CDBG funds through a 5-year Consolidated Plan, currently in effect 2010 - 2015.
