Rangely, Meeker and Dinosaur get DOLA grants

RBC I Mike Samson, chairman of The Associated Governments of Northwest Colorado, and Jeff Eskelson, AGNC vice chairman and Rio Blanco County commissioner, are pleased to announce that through AGNC’s $50,000 mini-grant program awarded from state Department Of Local Affairs (DOLA), a $3,750 grant on behalf of the Town of Meeker, a $3,750 grant on behalf of the Town of Rangely and a $5,000 grant on behalf of the Town of Dinosaur were approved by the AGNC committee.
Meeker’s $3,750 grant will be used to help replace the track at Meeker High School; Rangely will use its grant to construct a military veterans memorial and adjacent walkways, and Dinosaur will utilize their grant for town hall and cemetery beautification.
Eskelson says he is certain that these projects will have positive impacts on their communities and he looks forward to their completion.
