Dear Mayor Lukela,
Congratulations! The Town of Pierce is being awarded a Weld County CDBG program grant in the amount
of $120.000 for improvements to the Pierce Senior Center. The grant funds are to be used for materials and
labor to upgrade the center's restrooms to be handicapped accessible, new flooring, paint the kitchen and
dining room, replace the kitchen sink, new lighting, floor heaters in the dining room, four new windows
and a new front door.
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 improving facilities that provide
services to seniors, who as a group, are presumed to be low and moderate -income persons.
All projects require some level of environmental review which could delay start of the project. The Town
of Pierce, 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,
TRLW.
