Earlier today, District I Council Member Mike Garza City and the City  of Laredo Community  Development Department hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Nicolasa Ubaldo Residence, thanks to federal dollars of the Community Development Block Grant program funded by the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development.  Ubaldo’s home was destroyed earlier this year in a fire; Cm. Garza used federal funds that had previously been designated for other projects in his district for the housing rehab, since the need was so dramatic.  At today’s ribbon-cutting ceremony, students from Cigarroa High School ROTC and Choir Club participated in the ceremony.
