Community Development Block Grants were the main topic at the Paterson Alliance membership meeting on September 12, 2019. City of Paterson Economic Director Michael Powell along with New Jersey Community Development Corporation's CEO and founder Bob Guarasci and Director of Real Estate Michael Cassidy lead the discussion and provided our members with a wealth of information about Community Development Block Grants and how to successfully apply for them.

A brief overview was followed by an informative Powerpoint presentation.  After the main presentation, the presenters held a lively Q & A session where Paterson Alliance members in attendance received even more valuable information about CDBG's. Paterson Alliance would like to thank Mr. Guarasci, Mr. Cassidy and Director Powell for sharing their knowledge and experience and for allowing us to provide this valuable information to our members. We would also like to thank Bob Guarasci, Michael Cassidy and NJCDC for allowing Paterson Alliance to post a pdf copy of of the CDBG Review Powerpoint Presentation below.
