These notices shall satisfy two separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by the Town of Cornersville.
 On or about October 28, 2024 the Town of Cornersville will submit a request to the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development for the release of Block Grant Funds under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, to undertake a project known as 2023 Cornersville CDBG Sidewalk Improvements for the purpose of using CDBG funds towards the construction of a new sidewalk on the east shoulder of Highway 31. The new sidewalk will be approximately 1,200 linear feet, and continue north to Cornersville Elementary School, the Post Office, and commerce. The proposed project will include prepping and the pouring of 5-foot wide, 4-inch thick concrete sidewalks with a curb and gutter.

 The Town of Cornersville has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, 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) on file at 118 South Main Street, Cornersville, TN 37047 and may be examined or copied weekdays 8:00 A.M to 4:00 P.M.
 Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to the Cornersville Town Hall. All comments received by October 28, 2024 will be considered by the Town of Cornersville prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing.
 The Town of Cornersville certifies to the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development that John M. Luna in his/her capacity as Mayor 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. The Tennessee Department of Economic and Community’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows the Town of Cornersville to use Program funds.
 The Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development will accept objections to its release of fund and the Town of Cornersville certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the Town of Cornersville; (b) the Town of Cornersville has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) 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 Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development; or (d) 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 (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development, Community and Rural Development, 312 Rosa L. Parks Avenue, 27th Floor, Nashville, Tennessee 37243- 1102. Potential objectors should contact Community and Rural Development to verify the actual last day of the objection period.
