Left In Lowell

The City’s web site is advertising for applicants to the Citizen Advisory Committee. That is the committee, appointed by the City Manager, that reviews grants, applications and recommends funding allocations to him for the CDBG, HOME and ESG programs.

The City of Lowell is looking for people interested in volunteering to serve on the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) for our Consolidated Plan. This 7 to 11 member committee is responsible for reviewing all grant applications submitted by non-profit organizations and city departments requesting funding under the Community Development Block Grant programs.

There is a lengthy competitive process that takes place, including review of applications, testimony at a public hearing and meeting to make the recommendations to the City Manager. Only Lowell residents are allowed to apply.

If you are interested, send an e-mail to Deputy DPD Director Adam Baacke to get more information.
