LAYTON — The fruits of federal Community Development Block Grant funds will be felt by different groups and in different ways, here.

Groups from Safe Harbor Domestic Violence Shelter to facade improvements in Old Downtown are slated to benefit, says City Economic Development Specialist Ben Hart.

This year, Layton anticipates receiving nearly $336,000 from the federal program. It’s intended to assist in funding infrastructure in low and moderate income areas, as well as aid with human service programs targeted to that population.

The lion’s share of funding will go to the Family Connection Center. Some $22,241 will go for general programs and $4,500 for its motel voucher program to temporarily aid homeless people. Other projects to be funded in Layton include $9,500 to Safe Harbor Domestic Violence Shelter; $9,500 to the Layton Youth Court; $4,500 to The Road Home homeless shelter in Salt Lake City, which assists some Layton residents.

The city will also participate again with the Davis School District in construction of a building-trades home. The city will install utilities and provide the land. The home will be sold at cost, minus land-associated costs.

Old Downtown is due to see a lot of redevelopment, including the potential influx of new businesses, now that the nearby I-15 interchange is under construction. The interchange is supposed to be done by this December.
