The Town of Eden is hiring a part-time Buildings and Grounds Maintenance person. This is a year-long position. The job includes cleaning of town buildings, maintenance, repair and up keep of parks, cemeteries, sports fields and other town properties. Candidates should possess excellent communication, time management, technical and mechanical skills. Interested persons should submit a letter of interest and resume by Friday, September 9, 2022, to the Town Supervisor’s Office, 2795 East Church Street, Eden, NY 14057 or email Marlene at marlene@edenny.gov.

The Erie County Department of Environment & Planning has announced upcoming citizen forums to help determine the needs and priorities of low- and moderate-income residents residing within the Erie County Community Development (“CD”) Block Grant Consortium. The consortium is comprised of 34 municipalities, excluding the City of Buffalo, the Towns of Amherst, Cheektowaga, Hamburg and Tonawanda and their Villages; these municipalities receive their own federal funding. The information gathered at the forums will assist the County’s Department of Environment and Planning in preparing the 2022 Community Development application to the US Department of Housing & Urban Development.

The 3 public forums are scheduled for:

•          Tuesday, September 14 at 7:00 PM at the City of Tonawanda, Court Room, 200 Niagara Street

•          Wednesday, September 15 at 6:30 PM at the Lackawanna Public Library, 560 Ridge Road

•          Thursday, September 16 at 7:00 PM at the Village of Springville Public Safety Campus, 65 Franklin Street

“By participating in these public forums residents are able to advocate for what is important to them, add their own voice to the community discussion, and let officials know what they value right in their own neighborhoods,” said Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz. “Citizen input can impact how our communities look and function for years to come so it is important that we hear from as many people as possible, and I encourage residents to attend and make their voices and concerns heard.”

These public forums provide an opportunity to increase citizen awareness and participation in the Consortium’s federal Community Development program by allowing the general public, as well as agency advocates for low- and moderate-income individuals, the elderly and handicapped to offer suggestions and information on the needs of these populations to County and municipal officials. Housing needs, such as affordable housing and housing for special populations (the homeless, the elderly, disabled persons, persons living with AIDS, and public housing residents), and community and economic development needs, such as transportation, jobs, community facilities and infrastructure (sewer, water and roads), will be prime topics for discussion at the forums.

These forums will also serve as countywide public meetings for Erie County’s Community Development Block Grant, Emergency Solutions Grant and HOME Investment Partnership programs.  Each will cover four areas: Housing, Public/Human Services, Community/Neighborhood Development, and Economic Development Needs. There will also be a review of CD Program Performance, as required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Information obtained from the meetings will be used to formulate the Erie County Consortium’s Community Development 2022 Action Plan.  The update process will occur in early 2022.
