RE: EIAF 9344 - Weld County 35th Avenue l* 0 Street Roundabout
Dear Commissioner Moreno:
The Department of Local Affairs is in receipt of your application for state Energy and Mineral Impact
Assistance funds. These revenues are derived from oil, gas, carbon dioxide, coal, and metals extracted
in Colorado.
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 was intense and we had many more requests than we had funds
available.
Congratulations! After thorough review, I am excited to offer a grant award in the amount of $750,000
for the Weld County 35th Avenue Ft 0 Street Roundabout.
These grant funds will be from state severance tax proceeds, which may cause you to go to an 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
