In this matter, each community would compete <br />within its region with communities sharing similar needs and resources for <br />a specific amount of CDBG funds. In addition, Cabarrus County requests <br />that DCA remove from the ranking system for these grants the distress <br />county bonus points and similarly from the scattered site category, the <br />pit privy incentive bonus points. <br /> Signed this 20th day of October, 1997. <br /> <br />/s/ Sue Casper <br /> <br />Sue Casper, Chair <br />Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners <br /> <br />ATTEST: <br /> /s/ Frankie F.
