DOTHAN, Ala. (WDNews) — The City of Dothan will host a series of neighborhood meetings later this month as part of the development of its 2026 Annual Action Plan for federal housing and community development funding.
Each year, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development provides Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to the city to support programs benefiting low- and moderate-income residents. As required by HUD, the city is seeking public input to help guide how those funds will be used.
Residents, community members and representatives of social service agencies are invited to attend one of the meetings to share ideas and identify neighborhood needs. The Annual Action Plan outlines the projects, activities and resources that address priorities established in the city’s 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan.
The meetings will be held at the following times and locations:
Monday, Feb. 23, 6–7 p.m.
Andrew Belle Community Center, 1270 Lake St.
Tuesday, Feb. 24, 6–7 p.m.
Doug Tew Therapeutic Recreation Center, 300 Garland St.
Wednesday, Feb. 25, 6–7 p.m.
Wiregrass Recreation Center, 620 Sixth Ave.
Thursday, Feb. 26, noon–1 p.m.
Michael C. Patton Event Center, Dothan Housing Authority, 1001 Montana St.
The meetings will also serve as official public hearings for the city’s CDBG citizen participation process.
Those unable to attend may submit comments or suggestions by mail, email or phone to Tera Wells, CDBG Program Administrator, Department of Planning and Development, City of Dothan, P.O. Box 2128, Dothan, AL 36302; email [email protected]; or call 334-615-4417.
