    The final selections have been made for the fiscal year 2011 Indian Community Development Block Grant (ICDBG). The Navajo Nation was approved for $4.5 million, which will fund seven infrastructure projects.

    The Navajo Nation Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) was awarded $4,506,720 by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to construct six power line projects and one waterline project.
