CDBG-R
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 ("Recovery Act") awards Community Development Block Grant Recovery (CDBG-R) funds to cities, counties, insular areas and states. Recipients of CDBG-R funds are the approximately 1,200 jurisdictions that received Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding in Fiscal Year 2008. These funds must be used for community development activities that meet one of the three national objectives of CDBG; benefit low and moderate-income persons; aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; or meet a need having a particular urgency.
CDBG-R activities must meet Recovery Act provisions intended to maximize job creation and economic benefit. Federal labor standard requirements are more comprehensive than for regular CDBG projects.
Volusia County was awarded $526,815 in CDBG-R funding. Local governments submitted applications for the subject funding, outlining community development projects. The applications were reviewed to determine if they met CDBG eligibility, CDBG National Objective, and Recovery Act provisions. The following projects were selected for funding and approved by County Council on August 20, 2009:
| Location | Activity | # Jobs Created/ Retained | Amount |
| City of Daytona Beach Shores | Public Facility Improvement- Sidewalk Installation |
15 |
$180,000 |
| City of Edgewater | Public Facility Improvement- Lift Station Replacement |

$109,134 |
| City of South Daytona | Water Main Installation |
9 |
$185,000 |
| Total Amount |
34-39 |
$474,134 |
The Recover Act requires that the CDBG-R funds be expended by September 30, 2012. The cities implementing the above activities have submitted plans that indicate completion considerably before that deadline.
