The City of Lawrenceburg is set to conduct two public meetings in the upcoming months of January and February, aimed at collecting community feedback for its 2026 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application. The initial public hearing is scheduled for 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, January 22, 2026, coinciding with the Lawrenceburg City Council meeting. This forum will provide an opportunity for residents to voice their thoughts and suggestions regarding potential projects that could be included in the city’s CDBG application. The types of projects that qualify for consideration encompass community infrastructure, revitalization efforts, and initiatives focused on public health and safety.
Following this, a second public meeting will take place at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 5, 2026. This gathering will occur in the Council Room located on the lower level of Lawrenceburg City Hall. During this session, attendees will have the chance to review the guidelines associated with the CDBG program and contribute further input. The eligible projects for this grant include improvements to water and sewer systems, as well as community livability initiatives such as public health and safety resources, which may involve ambulances, fire trucks, sirens, and clinics. Additionally, projects aimed at enhancing community infrastructure—such as streets, sidewalks, drainage systems, and flood mitigation—will also be discussed, along with revitalization efforts that could involve community centers and daycare facilities.
Residents and organizations with project proposals are strongly encouraged to participate in either of the meetings or to share their ideas with the City Administrator at Lawrenceburg City Hall, located at 25 Public Square. Suggestions can also be submitted via email to [email protected]. Both venues for the meetings are designed to be accessible for individuals with disabilities, and those requiring special accommodations are invited to reach out to City Hall at (931) 762-4459. The City of Lawrenceburg is committed to ensuring that its programs and services are provided without discrimination.
