Title
A RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF AN APPLICATION FOR GREAT OUTDOORS COLORADO COMMUNITY IMPACT GRANT
Body
Summary and Background Information:
The Commerce City Parks, Recreation and Golf (“PRG”) Department would like to sponsor an application to Great Outdoors Colorado (“GOCO”) for the Sand Creek Regional Greenway Partnership (“Sand Creek”). Sand Creek is requesting $500,000 for the Wetland Park Destination Project (“Project”) and providing approximately $398,298 in matching funds. To sponsor the application, PRG will serve as the main applicant and enter into an agreement with GOCO, if awarded.
The proposed Project will design and install three swings and a 400-meter loop path, painted with various designs, at Wetland Park along the Sand Creek Regional Greenway in Commerce City to encourage walking or rolling for exercise, boosting accessibility. This Project is part of Sand Creek’s community-drive Many Destinations Initiative, which promotes equitable access and Greenway use, encouraging all residents to enjoy the wilderness corridor and recreational trail.
As part of the application requirements, a resolution supporting the grant application and project must be submitted with the application.
If awarded, all funding will be directly exchanged with Sand Creek. PRG is not providing any funds for this project.
