TROY — At its meeting Nov. 17, the Troy City Council unanimously approved an application for the 2026 Community Development Block Grant, hoping to secure federal funds for city services and facility improvements. The CDBG program is administered locally through Oakland County, distributing funds awarded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. For the public services portion of the program, the city estimates a funding level comparable to the 2025 allocation. The other portion — public facilities and improvements — will be based on competitive proposals that were due earlier this month. Here, the public services portion would cover yard services throughout Troy, with a cost projected at roughly $25,200. See GRANT on page 18A
