Community Development Digest, the formerly twice-monthly national newsletter on community and economic development since 1965, has become a Web-based news service. This change enables us to offer quicker updates on breaking news, enhanced search ability, access to issue archives and much more than we ever could in print.

CDD provides authoritative reports on the Community Development Block Grant program (CDBG), as well as covering Congressional legislation, agency regulations, court decisions and funding opportunities for community and economic development.

You'll find CDD filled with concise updates on issues such as community planning and financing, rural development, housing rehabilitation and preservation, downtown redevelopment, and neighborhood revitalization. CDD also provides a roundup of state and local development efforts from both urban and rural communities, and offers tips on how localities are coping with tight state budgets.

HERE'S HOW WEB DELIVERY BENEFITS YOU

Our editors post breaking news and other items continually. If you wish, we'll send you quick e-mails notifying you of every new posting, or you can choose to be notified once a week or when two weeks worth of postings are compiled into a complete, scanable "issue."

You can choose to read only the stories of interest to you by using our search engine to customize content by areas of interest, state or keyword.

Miss a posting? Just check our convenient Story Calendar and you can instantly access a previous posting.

You have unlimited access to our Library of online resources, and you can easily access our archive of back issues any time you wish.

Pressed for time, or prefer a hard copy? All material is available in printer-friendly format for you to print as you wish.

And you can now share information more readily and cost-effectively with your colleagues. Our multi-user option enables you to have as many additional readers at your location as you wish, and each added reader costs only a small fraction of a full subscription's cost.

Have a question about our service or what we cover? Call Editor Tom Harman at 301-588-6380 ext 174.
