Dear Mayor Clark,
Congratulations! The City of Evans is being awarded a Weld County CDBG program grant for the
Evans Ramp Project in the amount of $181,000 to enhance connectivity through ADA pedestrian
access in a low and moderate -income area. Grant funds are to be used to bring into compliance thirty-
six (36) ADA ramps/transitions located between 17t5 Avenue east to Belmont Avenue and 37t5 Street south
to 42❑d Street.
The Weld County Board of County Commissioners have set the priorities for the Weld CDBG
Program to be public improvements including adequate public infrastructure, housing preservation,
and access to public services. Additionally, the Weld County CDBG Program is designed to provide
funding to address community development needs in which at least 70% of the funding must
principally benefit low and moderate -income persons. This project meets program goal by
providing infrastructure improvements for the benefit of low and moderate -income persons.
All projects require some level of environmental review which could delay start of the project.
The City of Evans, as subrecipient, CANNOT begin to incur either administrative or program costs
associated with the project until an environmental review has been completed and a subrecipient
agreement with the Weld County CDBG Program is fully and properly executed.
Please contact Elizabeth Relford, CDBG Manager, at (970) 673-5836 or Cynthia Martin, Senior
CDBG Analyst, at (970) 537-1769 at your earliest convenience to initiate contracting procedures.
By facilitating these low- to moderate -income projects, the Community Development Block Grant
program is helping strengthen Weld County communities for all our residents. It's been exciting to
see the impact these variety of improvements are bringing to our communities.
Sincerely,
Kevin D Ross
Chair, Weld County Board of Commissioners
