    THE DREAM KEEPER FROM THE PRESIDENT APRIL 2004 1. The Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) has requested Concept Papers from entities proposing large-scale outdoor programs and seeking grant awards of more than $1 Million. Projects submitted in response to this request should be of regional or statewide significance. The restoration of Rollins Pass should meet the requirements for this effort. It is my understanding that both Gilpin and Grand Counties are preparing concept papers. No information has been received concerning Boulder County. Concept papers will be evaluated and those entities selected will be asked to submit a more complete application. 2. It has been 100 years since the Denver Northwest and Pacific Railroad crossed over the Continental Divide. The Gilpin County Historic Society is joining Author Bob Griswold in celebrating the Anniversary of the First train at Tolland. The event will be held Saturday June 19, 2004 at noon. Autographed copies of Bob's new book "Before the Moffat Tunnel" will be available. Call 303-757-2159 for more information. 3. RPRA will recognize the 100-Year Anniversary of the Denver Northwest and Pacific by holding two picnics, one on each side of the Pass. Earl Salter will present his multi-media show "David Moffat, The Man and His Dream." Coordination is not firm but the picnic and show on the Westside will be Saturday August 7, 2004. The Grand County Historic Society is arranging the place. The picnic and show on the Eastside (Front-range) probably be held in Nederland. Access to a facility to set up projectors and have space to view the show is a problem.
  • Moffat County Response

    Moffat County Response

    August 27, 2020 Honorable David Bernhardt Secretary of the Interior U.S. Department of the Interior 1849 C St. NW Washington, DC. 20240 Secretary Bernhardt, The Moffat County Commissioners are very supportive of, and inspired by the President’s July 3, 2020 Executive Order on Building and Rebuilding Monuments to American Heroes. The M offat County Commissioners would like to nominate Loudy-Simpson Park as a potential site for the National Garden of American Heroes. This new monument would provide an opportunity for Moffat County to honor its existing agriculture, mining, electriciity generation, and western frontier heritage, while giving national recognition to American Heroes of all backgrounds. Loudy-Simpson Park is located in Craig, Colorado, is 453 acres in size, and hosts over 2 miles of river frontage on the Yampa River main-stem, including oxbow channels. In addition to Moffat County offering hundreds of acres of scenic land, the M offat County Commissioners would also like to sponsor a United States flag, flag poole, lighting, and landscaping around a central flag in the National Garden of Amere ican Heroes. Loudy-Simpson Park is an acreage of local pride. Just this summer alone, over $650,000 has been invested in the Park for several improvements including an amphitheater, electrical upgrades, and picnic areas. Partners include contributions from Moffat County, the City of Craig, the local electric association, local power plant and coal mines, and State of Colorado energy impact funding. Monument Management: Moffat County has decades of history of working with the Federal Goovernment to manage federal lands regarding everything from endangered species to land and water management.
