EASTON, MARYLAND — Easton is in line for $800,000 in federal Community Development Block Grant money to buy land for a 64-unit senior housing development, according to a Moore-Miller Administration award list released with the state's Fiscal Year 2027 CDBG round.
Seven local governments across six counties will share $4,345,911 for projects that expand affordable housing, improve neighborhood access and upgrade community infrastructure, according to the department's award table. The department's award sheet names the Easton (Talbot County) project as acquisition of a parcel of land for construction of a 64-unit senior housing development and lists the award at $800,000. The sheet's statewide total is $4,345,911.
"For our communities to thrive, our administration is dedicated to building the affordable and accessible housing and quality infrastructure every Marylander deserves," Moore said in the release.
DHCD Secretary Jake Day said in the same release that housing, infrastructure and neighborhood revitalization are interconnected, and that the awards run "from Mountain Maryland to the Eastern Shore."
The CDBG State Program sends federal Housing and Urban Development funds to states, which then award rural counties, cities and towns through a competitive process. Maryland's program has awarded more than $335 million since 1987, the release says. Other FY2027 awards on the same sheet include projects in Garrett, Worcester, Wicomico, Harford and Cecil counties. The release does not name a developer, street address or construction start date for the Easton project.
