PUBLIC COMMENT
Greenwood CDBG - Notice of Finding of No Significant Impact and Intent to Request the Release of Funds
This notice satisfies two separate but related procedural requirements for the City of Greenwood, which expects to undertake with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding.
Request for Release of Funds
On or about February 17, 2026, Greenwood will submit a request to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the release of CDBG funds under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, to design and install a custom splash pad at Northeast Park, creating new access of a cooling feature for the surrounding neighborhood, utilizing approximately $300,000 in funding.
Finding of No Significant Impact
Greenwood determined that the Northeast Park splash pad project will have No Significant Impact on the human environment; an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) available for examination upon request by emailing cdbg@greenwood.in.gov.
Public comments
Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to cdbg@greenwood.in.gov, City of Greenwood CDBG, 300 South Madison Avenue, Greenwood, Indiana, 46142. Greenwood will consider all comments received by 5:00PM February 15, 2026, prior to authorizing Request for Release of Funds submission. Comments must include the name and address of the person submitting the comment and specify Northeast Park splash pad FONSI/RROF.
Environmental Certification
The City of Greenwood certifies to the Indianapolis HUD Community Planning and Development (CPD) office that Greenwood Mayor Mark W. Meyers consents to accept Federal Court jurisdiction if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities related to the environmental review process, and that these responsibilities are satisfied. Indianapolis HUD CPD Office approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA, related laws and authorities, and allows the City of Greenwood to use CDBG funds.
Objections to Release of Funds
The Indianapolis HUD CPD Office will accept objections to the Release of Funds and the City of Greenwood’s certification for a period of fifteen days following the later of the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request only if they are on one of the following bases: the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the City of Greenwood; the City of Greenwood omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58; the grant recipient or other participants in the development process have committed funds, incurred costs or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by the Indianapolis HUD CPD Office; or another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures at 24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76, and shall be addressed to the Indianapolis HUD CPD Office at CPD_COVID-19OEE-IND@hud.gov. Potential objectors should contact the Indianapolis HUD CPD Office to verify the actual last day of the objection period.
