The city will have to cover extra costs for services like code enforcement and infrastructure upgrades from its general fund while the state offers no replacement funding—forcing local officials to explore tough options.  Racine County Eye
  • ➤ On Monday, Racine’s CDBG Advisory Board approved a $1.74M federal spending plan to fund housing, code enforcement, and social services while officials expressed concern that too little is allocated for needed neighborhood repairs & the plan now goes to the Common Council for final approval before submission to HUD by August 16.  Racine County Eye
