From staff reports
The City of Oil City will begin conducting demographic surveys today for a street reconstruction project on a part of Hasson Avenue from Deer Street to Park Road.
The survey is being done in conjunction with the city’s Community Development Block Grant program.
To determine grant eligibility, federal regulations associated with the program require a demographic survey be conducted on all families benefiting from the reconstruction project.
The city will not, under any circumstance, ask residents to report their income.
All information collected will remain strictly confidential and will be used only for the purposes of grant administration.
If residents have not responded by the March 10, the city will follow up with phone calls and door-to-door visits to gather the necessary information from non-respondents.
Any questions regarding the survey may be directed to the city’s Community Development Department at (814) 678-3017.
