Please join us for CEDO's Open House and Community Celebration on Wednesday, April 4th from 4:00 to 6:30 PM in City Hall Contois Auditorium. The event will be an evening of food, fun, and awards while also recognizing the important work done to keep our communities safe, vibrant, and green. In recognition of National Community Development Week, we are highlighting the work done by CEDO and valued community partners with Community Development Block Grant and HOME funds for our most vulnerable residents.
