Dear Mr. Taylor:
The Weld County Commissioners, on behalf of the Weld County Head Start
Program, are requesting your financial assistance for the purpose of
procuring a standard modular classroom building. The modular building
would be located in southern Weld County and would provide a permanent
location for the pre-school education program.
The community support for constructing a permanent school facility in
southern Weld County has been tremendous. In fact, one of the towns in
the area has agreed to lease three vacant lots to the Weld County Head
Start Program at the rate of $1.00 per year for 25 years. The lots will
be used as the location site for the modular classroom building.
Southern Weld County has been increasing in population at a significant
rate. The influx of individuals into the communities has decreased the
number of buildings available for rent. Naturally, even when a facility
is available, there are building codes that must be adhered to.
Unfortunately, the buildings available in the area are unable to meet
the building codes needed for a pre-school facility.
To further complicate the issue, the facility the program has been using
is not going to be available for the Head Start Program' s use after May,
1985.
The purchase of a modular classroom facility would enable the Weld
County Head Start Program to respond to the increase in population by
providing services to additional young children. It will also ensure
the future of the pre-school for low income children, for many years to
come, by providing a permanent facility.
The procurement of land and a facility for southern Weld County' s Head
Start Program is the number one priority for 1985.

I hope I have provided you sufficient information regarding Weld
County's request in the cover letter. Your serious consideration for a
grant award is appreciated.
