The City of Greenville is celebrating National Community Development Week April 11-15, 2022. The week serves as an opportunity to highlight the impact of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) CDBG and HOME programs with elected officials, program partners, program participants, and the public.

Mayor PJ Connelly reads proclamation that designates April 11th, 2022 through April 15th, 2022 as National Community Development Week by the National Community Development Association & also proclaims this week as National Community Development Week in Greenville, NC.

The City of Greenville has a new program that pays to test and remove or encapsulate lead paint. If your house was built prior to 1978, there's a good chance it has lead paint. If you have children under the age of 6 who reside or spend a lot of time in your home, they could be in danger!

For more information and to see if you're eligible to receive assistance, please contact Sylvia Brown at (252) 329-4509 or sbrown@greenvillenc.gov
