ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:
On August 4, 2025, the City Council approved amendments to the FY 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan to reallocate Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds originally designated for the Multifamily Accessibility Program and the Serve Lewisville facility. As part of this process, City staff solicited competitive applications for public infrastructure projects utilizing FY 2023-2024, FY 2024-2025, and FY 2025-2026 CDBG funding. The Historical Fox-Hembry Cemetery Association was selected to receive $145,000 in reallocated FY 2023-2024 CDBG funds to support the cemetery's restoration and preservation. The project includes identifying and delineating cemetery boundaries, installing fencing and gates, adding lighting to improve visibility, and constructing an educational kiosk to preserve and share the history of Lewisville’s early residents buried at the site.
