The City of Roswell will repay the Section 108 loan with a portion of its annual CDBG allocations in the estimated amount of $327,000 per year for the next seven years.

Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR), on file at 38 Hill Street, Suite 130, Roswell, GA 30075. The record is available for review and may be examined or copied weekdays 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.

ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION The City of Roswell certifies to HUD/Georgia that its Certifying Officer consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied.
