UPDATE: Northglenn Skatpark Meeting Thursday evening @ the Adams County Fairgrounds

via amanda Peterson

Thanks for helping get the word out! I tried to comment to the post, but wasn't able to. Would you be willing to add the following info as a followup to that post? I want to make sure that we have the best chance possible of getting funding for the park, and I want to make sure that everyone has all of the information that they need to be able to provide support for the project.

I just want to clarify a few details regarding this post -

1. The meeting is being held by the Adams County Open Space Advisory Board. Northglenn is a guest at this meeting.

2. Northglenn is applying for grant funding to be able to build a high quality, 15,000 square foot, concrete park

3. Anyone interested is welcome to come to the meeting to speak. There are a few rules, however. The County is giving the grants, so they get to set the rules! Everyone must arrive by 5:30 p.m. Anyone not arriving by that time will not be able to speak. There will be eight different grants presented that night. Northglenn will present the skate park project last.

Immediately following Northglenn's presentation, anyone who would like to speak on behalf of the project may. You will have one minute to voice your support for the project.

4. Please remember, this is a competitive grant process. We want to do everything that we can to show the board that they should give us this grant to build the park. Some things that they may take into consideration are:
- the interest in the project
- the need for the project
- the likelihood that the project will be well maintained and taken care of
- a respect for the Adams County Open Space Board and the grant process

If you want to see a skate park in Northglenn, getting this grant would allow it to be built! If you are willing to show your support for the project and the grant application, your voice could help the board make a decision to fund the skate park!

Please feel free to e-mail me at apeterson@northglenn.org if you would like more info.

Thanks!!
