Dear Mayor Peterson,
Congratulations! The Town of Firestone is being awarded a Weld County CDBG program grant in the amount
of $150,000 to assist with costs associated with replacing non -conforming ADA ramps in residential
neighborhoods. Grant funds are to be used to replace between eighteen (18) and twenty-four (24) non-
conforming ADA ramps to include the costs of demolition of the existing non -compliant ramps, adjusting and
stabilizing grading, patching asphalt, and replacement of curb, gutter, sidewalks where needed.
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 the program goal(s) by providing access to public services by reducing accessibility
barriers.
All projects require some level of environmental review which could delay start of the project. The Town of
Firestone, 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 Program Manager, at (970) 673-5836 or Cynthia Martin, CDBG
Analyst, at (970) 537-1769 at your earliest convenience to initiate contracting procedures.
We as a board are excited to help these projects happen and see what new life is breathed into these communities
when they're completed.
Sincerely,
3\0 a.,
Mike Freeman
