Applicants for CDBG-CV grant funds under the City of Crestview Small Business Assistance Grant Program must disclose any funds applied for or received from these sources or other federal assistance programs. It is in the city’s sole discretion to determine if funds received from any of these sources constitutes a duplication of benefits.
