NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS

Date of Notice: February 17, 2026

Name of Responsible Entity [RE]: Perry County

Address: 121 E. Main St.

Linden, TN 37096

Telephone Number of [RE]: (931) 589-2216

On or about March 9, 2026 Perry County will submit a request to the Tennessee Housing Development Agency for release of HOME funds under Title II of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990, as amended, to undertake a project known as 2025 Perry County HOME Program for the purpose of: improving housing conditions for low-to-moderate income persons within the corporate boundaries of the county of Perry

County TN, with estimated funding of $540,000.00.

The activities proposed are categorically excluded under HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58 from National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements. An Environmental Review Record (ERR) that documents the environmental determinations for this project is on file at the Perry County Mayor’s office at 121 E. Main St., Linden, TN 37096, and may be examined or copied weekdays 8 A.M. to 4:00 P.M.

PUBLIC COMMENTS

Any individual or group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to County Mayor John Carroll, P.O. Box 16, Linden, TN 37096. All comments received by March 6, 2026, will be considered by Perry County prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds.

ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION

Perry County certifies to the Tennessee Housing Development Agency that John Carroll in his capacity as Mayor of Perry County, 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 Housing Development Agency’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under

NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows Lawrence County to use Program funds.

OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS

The Tennessee Housing Development Agency will accept objections to its release of funds and Perry County for a period of fifteen (15) 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 Perry County; b) Perry County has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58;

NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS

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 Housing Development Agency; 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.

Because the grant award year Project will involve activities at several scattered sites for which the exact location will not be known for some time, an environmental review strategy has been developed, including Site Specific Checklists, to ensure that the required environmental review is completed for each site. If environmental factors are identified as having an impact on the project or any of the specific project sites, they will be addressed on a case by case basis. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to the Tennessee Housing Development Agency, Andrew Jackson Building, Third

Floor, 502 Deaderick Street, Nashville, TN 37243, Attention: Community Programs Division. Potential objectors should contact the Tennessee Housing Development Agency to verify the actual last day of the objection period.

The Honorable John Carroll

Perry County Mayor
