BOX 758 GREELEY, CO 80632 The Honorable Laura Hargis Mayor of Hudson PO Box 351 Hudson, CO 80642 Dear Mayor Hargis, Congratulations! The Town of Hudson is being awarded a Weld County CDBG program grant in the amount of $65,000 for infrastructure improvements for the benefit of Hudson's seniors, persons with disabilities and low and moderate -income residents. The grant funds are to be used to cover a portion of cost of a $155,500 infrastructure project to construct approximately 0.4 miles of sidewalk along the north side of CO -52 (Main Street) from Fishing Pond Road to Beech Street and construct an ADA crosswalk with overhead flashing light across CO -52 at Beech Street. The Weld County Board of County Commissioners has set the priorities for the Weld CDBG Program to be public improvements including adequate public infrastructure, housing preservation, and access to public services. In addition, 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's goals of providing adequate public infrastructure. CDBG funds will be used to reimburse the town for labor and materials to construct the sidewalk and ADA crosswalk. All projects require some level of environmental review which could delay the start of the project. The Town of Hudson, 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 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. Sincer Scott K.

The Town of Firestone is being awarded a Weld County CDBG program grant in the amount of $225,000 to implement a Housing Rehabilitation Program in partnership with Brothers Redevelopment, Inc. for the benefit of its low and moderate -income residents. The grant funds are to be used for minor repair and rehabilitation of the owner -occupied, single-family residences of low and moderate -income residents to address health and safety issues, code violations and maintenance. The Weld County Board of County Commissioners has set the priorities for the Weld CDBG Program to be public improvements including adequate public infrastructure, housing preservation, and access to public services. In addition, 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's goals by furthering housing preservation, in this case, through the rehabilitation of pre-existing housing inventory to increase affordable, accessible housing choices. The Weld CDBG program will reimburse the town for construction costs associated with the minor rehabilitation. All projects require some level of environmental review which could delay the start of the project.
