The City of Mountain View will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, July 14, 2026 at 6:00 pm at
the Mountain View City Hall, 126 Oak St, Mountain View, MO 65548 to discuss the city’s
submission of a Competitive Cycle application for Fiscal Year 26 Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) program.
The city is interested in obtaining all citizens’ input on community development needs within the City of Mountain View. As part of the hearing process, citizens will be asked to verbally assist in the completion of a Needs Assessment document. The document will detail what the residents feel are the strengths and weaknesses of the community. The city needs as much local participation as possible in order to reflect the true desires of the community as a whole, as well as the comments relating to the proposed project application. The State has established a maximum application request for each category.
Activities that are eligible for funding include the improvement of Community Facilities, Demolition, General Infrastructure, and others allowed by law. At least 51% of the funds must be used to benefit low-and-moderate income persons. No displacement of persons is anticipated.
The city is proposing improvements to streets throughout the city. The total project cost is estimated at $730,351. The City proposes to contribute $96,400 in cash, $0 in-kind labor by city crews, with grant funds of $633,951 needed to make up the balance. The project, if funded, will benefit 78.3% low/moderate income persons. All citizens, including those in the targeted area, are encouraged to attend to comment on the proposed activities.
For more information on the proposed project, contact Terry Thornton, City Clerk, at (417)934-2601 or by email at cityclerk@mountainviewmo.gov. If you need special accommodations for the public hearing, including LEP assistance, please contact Terry Thornton by Monday, July 13th, at 3:00 p.m. The meeting will be held at an accessible location, and the city will make every effort possible to provide reasonable accommodations.
*If grant funding is awarded, the project will be subject to an environmental review process pursuant to
guidelines established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and according to 24 CFR
58 pertaining to environmental review guidelines. No project activities can take place until the grantee is
released from environmental review conditions by the Community Development Block Grant Program.
