Central Arkansas Development Council will hold a public hearing in Pike County in October, seeking public input in its goals and strategies. The public is invited to attend.
The hearing will be held October 23 at 10 a.m. at the CADC Glenwood Senior Activity Center, 229 Betty Street in Glenwood.
The public hearing is being held to discuss CADC’s goals, purpose and strategies for its 12-county service area. The primary purpose for conducting the hearing is to find out what service areas in our communities need improvement.
Immediately following the public hearing, from 1 - 2:30 p.m. at the same location, CADC will hold a free tax program orientation for the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program. VITA provides free tax preparation for low to moderate income individuals during tax season. CADC provides the service in partnership with the IRS. The orientation will provide an overview of what it requires to become a certified tax preparer. For more information on the service, contact Jean Sorrells at 870-867-0151.
Gathering input from the community is a condition of funding for the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG), which funds Community Action Agencies nationwide. The findings will then be used to address those areas identified through partnerships and programs. CADC is seeking input for its service area of Saline, Hot Spring, Pike, Clark, Montgomery, Pulaski, Lonoke, Dallas, Union, Columbia, Ouachita and Calhoun Counties. The public is encouraged to attend and voice their questions and/or concerns.
CADC is a private nonprofit community action agency that was formed in 1965 to fight and win the “War on Poverty.” The mission of CADC is to improve the quality of life and build strong communities in Arkansas. For more information, please contact Evelyn Reed at 501-778-1133.
