The Village is eligible for funds in neighborhood revitalization, commercial revitalization, housing rehabilitation, and economic development categories. Potential construction activities include paving roads and sidewalks, installing sewer and water lines, building a community center or park, improving a sewage treatment plant, and rehabilitating low-income homes. These activities must benefit low- and moderate-income persons, prevent or eliminate slum/blight, or meet a need of recent origin.

e) Downtown Revitalization, including Facade Improvements,
The Village of Islamorada's CDBG Citizen Advisory Task Force is reviewing a downtown revitalization project.
