LONGMONT IN HUNT FOR GOCO GRANT MONEY
DECEMBER 29, 2011 - The City of Longmont’s Concept Paper, the initial step in a full grant application to Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO), has been approved to move to the final application step. It was one of 21 concept papers that were approved for this next step in the grant process by GOCO.
The City is planning a 65 acre river based district park along the banks of the St Vrain River within the Pavlakis Open Space in the heart of Longmont. The park will feature various amenities including a whitewater park on the St Vrain creek. The project is slated to begin design in early 2012.
The City is looking for partners from the community to assist in the grant process. Project partners are critically important in the final approval for grant funding. Partners would ideally provide financial participation. Support of any amount would be welcome!
For more information about the project please contact Paula Fitzgerald at paula.fitzgerald@ci.longmont.co.us or call 303-651-8448 for details about how you can help with the project.
