BOX 758 GREELEY, CO 80632 Mayor Michael Cowper Town of Platteville 499 Grand Ave. Platteville, CO 80651 Dear Mayor Cowper, Congratulations! The Town of Platteville is being awarded a Weld County CDBG program grant in the amount of $96,000 for the Town of Platteville's Park Playground ADA Enhancements project. Grant funds will be used to install to install ADA compliant ramps and sidewalks in all four public parks in the community which include Lincoln, Riverview, Coronado, and Rogers Farm. The Weld County Board of Commissioners has set the priorities for the Weld CDBG Program to include 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 a program goal by providing access to public services through the removal of architectural barriers. All projects require some level of environmental review which could delay start of the project. The Town of Platteville, 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 cc: Troy Renken, City Manager, Town of Platteville David Brand, Public Works Director, Town of Platteville Commor>;co ©Ce/1-1Ira'1 2024-1587 �Z©0gO Hello
