Fiscal Note
In 2011, the sale of a property funded with Federal Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funds generated $14,520.65 in program income. These funds were returned to the City of Madison to be used in another NSP-eligible project. The NSP program design allows the funds to be given in the form of a grant. There is no impact on the levy.
