Notice is hereby given that the Roanoke Rapids City Council will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, December 19, 2023, at 5:30 PM, or as soon thereafter as the agenda will allow, at the Lloyd Andrews City Meeting Hall, 700 Jackson Street, Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina. The purpose of the public hearing is to review the budget and activities that have been accomplished through the Town’s 2019 CDBG Neighborhood Revitalization (CDBG-NR) program.
