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, 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 $800,000 for the reconstruction of approximately four miles of Weld County Road 29. 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, Don Sandoval, 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. Sincerely, Iry Halter Executive Director cc: John Cooke, State Senator Dave Young, State Representative Barbara Connolly, Controller Don Sandoval, DOLA Governor John W.
