The Five Year Strategy Plan identifies community needs and proposed solutions in the areas of Housing, Special Needs, Economic Development, and Non-Housing Community Development. The City’s CDBG activities benefitted low income citizens through the City’s Single Family Housing Rehabilitation Program and the Workforce Development Program.

The “Draft Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report, FY 2020” will also be available for review on the City’s website, and Bowie City Hall from September 23, 2020 – October 23, 2020.
