RE: EIAF 9749-Weld County High Plains Blvd.Design Ft Construction
Dear Commissioner Freeman:
Congratulations!After thorough review,I am excited to offer a grant award in the amount of$1,000,000 to
assist with the above mentioned project.
Your project was reviewed based on a variety of factors such as its connection to energy impact,degree of
need,measurable outcomes,amount of request,relationship to community goals,level of local match and
community support,management capacity,resiliency and readiness to go.Competition for these limited
funds is intense and we are seeing great demand.
These grant funds will be from state severance tax proceeds,which may cause you to go to election to
receive and spend them.You should confer with your legal and budget advisors to determine if such an
election is necessary.
Please contact your DOLA Regional Manager,Chris La May,at 970-679-7679 for information on how to
proceed.Expenditure of State funds prior to the contract being fully executed cannot be included in the
contract budget or reimbursed by the State.Per our program guidelines,this offer is valid for one year
from the date of this letter.
I wish you success with your project.Thank you for helping Colorado build an economy where all
Coloradans can thrive.
Sincerely,
Rick M.Garcia
Executive Director
