Monroe County will authorize Fairport Urban Renewal Agency (FURA) for PathStone Housing Action Corp. to submit a request to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the release of Project-Based Voucher (PBV) program funds, funds under Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937, (42 U.S.C. § 1437f), as amended, to undertake a new construction project known as "Midvale Phase 2." It will provide 28 apartments in eight one-story bungalow style buildings: four of these will contain four one-bedroom units side-by-side; the other four will house three units each. All eight structures will be wood-framed, slab-on-grade, with gabled roofs. All utilities are available onsite, and the owner will pay for electricity, water, sewer, and broadband internet service. The lower density buildings proposed in Phase 2 will be sited on either side of the access road that connects Phase 1 to Baird Road. FURA, aka the Fairport Housing Authority, as the local administrator of the HUD Section 8 PBV program, is committing eight (8) Section 8 PBVs for the project, which has a total project cost of $14,362,645. The project will serve Low/moderate income residents and is located within Census Tract 11901 Block Group 2. FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The County of Monroe has determined that this project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Records (ERRs) on file at the above address and is available for public examination and copying, upon request, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday - Friday.

ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION The County of Monroe certifies to HUD that Adam J. Bello in his capacity as County Executive 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.
