The City of Marietta has prepared a draft Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) for Program Year 2024, inviting community input. As detailed by the official municipal announcement, the report is a review of how the city met the objectives outlined in both the five-year Consolidated Plan and the Annual Action Plan related to the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program.
Available for public scrutiny starting tomorrow, the draft CAPER can be accessed at the Community Development Division Office located at 268 Lawrence St. Suite 200, Marietta, or obtained by calling (770) 794-5437, or by emailing [email protected]. Citizens and interested parties are encouraged, to evaluate the document and express their views. The plan opens for comments from August 15 and will close on September 1, with the deadline for written feedback set for 5:00 p.m. that day.
Marietta encourages community engagement by hosting a public review meeting on August 28, at 11:00 AM at the Community Development Division Office where participants can share comments directly. The noticing of this interaction further reinforces Marietta's commitment to involving its residents in the area's developmental discourse.
For those whose voices may be marginalized due to language barriers, the city promises an interpreter upon request, ensuring inclusivity. Any requests for reasonable accommodations—such as physical accessibility or interpretative assistance—should be directed to Kelsey Thompson-White at the same address provided for submitting comments. The CAPER report and more information about the initiative can be found on the Marietta city website, in a move to make the process as transparent and accessible as possible.
