The public is invited to attend a series of public hearings by Central Arkansas Development Council (CADC) to discuss proposed purpose and strategies for their 12-county service area for October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017. The primary purpose for conducting the hearing is to identify needs, services, resources and activities that will help low income individuals, families and communities improve.
The hearings are scheduled on the following dates:
- Monday, October 3, 7 pm @ Mt. Ararat Baptist Church, 5417 Valentine Road in North Little Rock
- Thursday, October 6 @ 10:30 am at the CADC Bryant Senior Activity Center, 6401 Boone Road, Suite 3 in Bryant

Gathering input from the community is a condition of funding for the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG), which funds CADC programs and services for low income individuals and communities. The findings will be used to identify goals and strategies for utilizing those funds for maximum impact in local areas. The public is encouraged to attend to identify needs for services and activities in CADC’s 12-county service area (Saline, Hot Spring, Pike, Clark, Montgomery, Pulaski, Lonoke, Dallas, Union, Columbia, Ouachita and Calhoun Counties).
