NWCCOG Economic Development District Board Roster X. Letter from NWCCOG Chair Officially Requesting EDD Designation from the EDA NWCCOG CEDS – TABLE OF CONTENTS I. INTRODUCTION A. CEDS Definition and Purpose Northwest Colorado Council of Governments (NWCCOG) has prepared a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) for the following five counties which make up State Planning and Management Region 12 in the State of Colorado: Eagle County, Grand County, Jackson County, Pitkin County and Summit County. These five counties are located in the northwest portion of the State of Colorado, and NWCCOG has been its designated regional association (Region 12) since 1972. Region 12’s Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) is designed to bring together the public and private sectors in the region in the creation of an economic roadmap to diversify and strengthen the regional economy. Development of a CEDS is the first step for Region 12 to become an Economic Development District under the auspices of the EDA. It is NWCCOG’s hope that , based on the merit of this CEDS, the EDA will grant the region Economic Development District status, thereby making Region 12 towns and counties eligible for potential funding programs that will assist with economic development projects that will serve to bolster and diversify our economies. B. CEDS Background and Requirements NWCCOG’s Region NWCCOG’s Region is located in the northwest section of the State of Colorado. Most of the area is located among the high peaks of the Colorado Rockies. The region is bordered in the East by the Continental Divide, in the north by the State of Wyoming in Jackson County, to the west by Garfield County, and to the South by the Elk Mountain Range in Pitkin County. It is considered the "high country", as elevations range from a high point of 14,270 (Grays Peak in Summit County) to a low of 6,312 in the Town of Gypsum in Eagle County. The average elevation of the towns in Region 12 is 8,124 feet above sea level. The mainstay of the region’s economy is tourism. The region has a large percentage of public lands, which serve as the basis for this tourism. The public lands attract millions of visitors from across the United States as well as internationally for skiing, hiking, mountain biking, camping, wildlife viewing, fishing, hunting, and simply enjoying the beautiful vistas, clean air, and overall enjoyment of the natural environment. Secondary industries have emerged from the tourism-based economy such as the construction of second homes, and the real estate industry generated from the buying and selling of real estate. Region 12’s economy lacks diversity, and this CEDS seeks to identify opportunities to make it more diverse and sustainable. Impetus for Creating the CEDS The first sentence in NWCCOG's mission statement is to be responsive to our members' needs and interests. In the most recent member needs survey, conducted in July 2009, the number one need NWCCOG CEDS - PAGE I-1 mentioned by NWCCOG member jurisdictions was "economic downturn and associated issues: budget constraints, reduced revenues, long term sustainable funding, unemployment (particularly in the construction industry), maintaining a quality workforce during difficult economic times, funding capital projects, and economic development and diversification away from dependency on resorts and tourism". (Appendix A) In response to the member needs survey, staff began exploring requirements to become an Economic Development District (EDD) under the auspices of the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA). In October 2009, the NWCCOG Board of Directors passed Resolution 09-01 authorizing staff to apply for a planning grant from the EDA to develop a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) (Appendix B). Creation of a CEDS is the first step a region takes in becoming an EDD. A CEDS is designed to bring together the public and private sectors in the creation of an economic roadmap to diversify and strengthen regional economies. The planning grant was submitted to the EDA in December 2009, and a grant award in the amount of $35,000 was made on April 1, 2010 with a deadline of submitting the CEDS and EDD designation materials to the EDA by May 31, 2011 (Appendix C).

  • Section Six: Interpretive Sites Top of the Rockies National Scenic & Historic Byway INTERPRETIVE MANAGEMENT PLAN Copper Mountain to Leadville
    Top Of The Rockies National Scenic & Historic Byway Section Six: Interpretive Sites 6-27 INTERPRETIVE MANAGEMENT PLAN INTERPRETIVE SITES Climax Mine Interpretive Site Introduction This section contains information on: • The current status of interpretive sites. • The relative value of interpretive sites with respect to interpreting the TOR topics. • The relative priority of implementing the recommendations outlined. (Note: Some highly valuable sites may be designated “Low Priority” because they are in good condition and there are few improvements to make.) • Site-specific topics and recommendations. In the detailed descriptions that follow, each site’s role in the Byway Interpretive Management Plan is reflected through the assignment of an interpretive quality value [(L)ow, (M)edium, (H) igh], an interpretive development priority [(L)ow, (M)edium, (H)igh], and a recommended designation (Gateway, Station, Stop, Site). Interpretive value assesses the importance, uniqueness and quality of a site’s interpretive resources. For example, the Hayden Ranch has high value as a site to interpret ranching while Camp Hale has high value as a site to interpret military history. Interpretive priority refers to the relative ranking of the site on the Byway’s to do list. High priority sites will generally be addressed ahead of low priority sites.

The RMMP also establishes certain rules that have the force of law; violations of these rules are punishable as provided for herein and in the Colorado Revised Statutes, as they may be amended from time to time. DEFINITION OF A ROAD A Road as defined by Colorado Revised Statutes ([§42-1-102(85), C.R.S.]) "Roadway" means that portion of a highway improved, designed, or ordinarily used for vehicular travel, exclusive of the sidewalk, berm, or shoulder even though such sidewalk, berm, or shoulder is used by persons riding bicycles or other human-powered vehicles and exclusive of that portion of a highway designated for exclusive use as a bicycle path or reserved for the exclusive use of bicycles, human-powered vehicles, or pedestrians. In the event that a highway includes two or more separate roadways, "roadway" refers to any such roadway separately but not to all such roadways collectively. Pitkin County considers all appurtenances to roadways, such as parking, drainage structures, and snow storage areas to be part of the roadway.

  • Camp Hale Story
    Camp Hale Story - Wes Carlson Introduction In 1942, the US Army began the construction of a large Army training facility at Pando, Colorado, located in the Sawatch Range at an elevation of 9,250 feet, between Minturn and Leadville, CO, adjacent to US Highway 24. The training facility became known as Camp Hale and eventually housed over 16,000 soldiers. Camp Hale was chosen as it was to become a training facility for mountain combat troops (later known as the 10th Mountain Division) for the US Army in WWII, and the area was in the mountains similar to what the soldiers might experience in the Alps of Europe. The training facility was constructed on some private land acquired by the US Government, but some of the facilities were on US Forest Service land. Extensive cooperation was required by the US Forest Service throughout the construction and operation of the camp and adjacent facilities. The camp occupied over 5,000 acres and was a city in itself. The Camp Site is located in what is now the White River NF. In 2012, at the US Forest Service National Retiree’s Reunion, a tour of the Camp Hale area was arranged. When the group who had signed up for the tour arrived at the office location where the tour was to start, it was announced that we would not be able to go to the Camp Hale site due to logistical issues with the transportation. One retiree, who had signed up for the tour, was very unhappy, and announced that if we couldn’t go to Camp Hale he would like to return to the hotel in Vail.

  • All Grants Awarded Through Fiscal Year 2020 INTRODUCTION and KEY
    All Grants Awarded Through Fiscal Year 2020 INTRODUCTION AND KEY This report is a list of all grants awarded by the Colorado Historical Society’s State Historical Fund (SHF) since its inception in 1992 (state Fiscal Year 1993) through the end of Fiscal Year 2020. The amounts listed are the original award amounts. If for some reason the entire grant amount was not used (i.e. a project was terminated or was completed under budget) the full amount awarded will appear. In other instances grant awards were increased either to enable project completion or to cover the costs of easements. In these instances, the additional award amount is shown in a separate entry as an increase. In those cases where no work was accomplished and the funds were either declined by the grant recipient or were required to be returned to the SHF through rescissions, no entry will appear. For this reason, projects listed in one version of this report may not appear in later versions, and the financial information shown in this report may not be comparable to other revenue reports issued by the SHF. Grants listed in this report are identified by project ID number. The first two characters in the project ID number represent the fiscal year from which the grant was scheduled to be paid. The state is on a July 1 – June 30 fiscal year. So, for example, all grants made between July 1, 2006 and June 30, 2007 will be coded “07”. The next two characters identify the type of grant. In the case of grants that are awarded based on specific application due dates, the grant round in which the project was funded will be paired with either a letter or number.
