Dear Mayor White,
Congratulations! The Town of Ault is being awarded a Weld County CDBG program grant in the
amount of $240,000 for Ault's Infrastructure Improvements project to upgrade a water line from an
upsized line (which was a recent emergency repair) to a main line. Grant funds will be used to install
approximately 500 feet of 8 -inch C-900 water line pipe from newly placed pipe at 2nd Street and Highway
85 to a main line on 1" Avenue servicing approximately 400 low-income residents in the east portion of
town.
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
public infrastructure improvements to benefit low and moderate -income persons.
All projects require some level of environmental review which could delay start of the project.
The Town of Ault, 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,
7
