Front and Orange Streets
Media, Pennsylvania 19063

REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS
On or about January 27, 2026, the County will submit a request to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the release of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, to undertake the following project:
Folcroft Borough: Estimated funding of $211,466 including $183,884 in CDBG funds for Montgomery Park Phase II improvements, located at Taylor Drive. Activities include replacement of a approx. 1,230 SY impervious asphalt parking lot, with approx. 2,300 SY pervious pavement parking lot and related site restoration
The activities proposed are categorially excluded under HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58 from the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements. An Environmental Review Record (ERR) that documents the environmental determinations for these projects are on file at the Office of Housing and Community Development (OHCD): 2 W. Baltimore Avenue, Suite 202, Media, PA 19063 and may be examined or copied weekdays from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on an ERR to Office of Housing and Community Development. All comments received on or before January 26, 2026, will be considered by the County prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing and be submitted to OHCD at the address above or via email at ohcd@co.delaware.pa.us .
ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION
The County certifies to HUD that Philip Welsh in his capacity as County Certifying Officer, consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process, and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD's acceptance of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and allows the County to use Program funds.
OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS
HUD will accept objections to its release of funds and the County certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the County; (b) the County has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58; or (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the development process have committed funds, incurred costs or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of release of funds by HUD; (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec 58.76) and shall be addressed to the Philadelphia Office of Community Planning and Development via email at CPDRROFPHI@hud.gov. Potential objectors should contact HUD to verify the actual last day of the objection period.
