Great Northern Development outlines Grow Garfield County projects, says it will front costs
Summary
Representatives of Great Northern Development told commissioners they front the costs for Grow Garfield County projects and seek reimbursement from state or local partners. Proposed projects include playground upgrades, park shelters, a one-mile walking trail and informational signage.
Representatives of Great Northern Development briefed the Garfield County commissioners on projects planned by the Grow Garfield County board during the Jan. 7 meeting.
Madison Saylor and Tory Matejovsky said Great Northern Development typically advances project costs and later seeks reimbursement from the state, city or county — a funding approach they said relieves local governments from up-front expenditures. Present for the discussion were County Attorney Adam Forslund and Clerk & Recorder Charlie Saylor.
Project ideas discussed included updating playground equipment at Lucky Charms Park, replacing or updating restroom facilities and adding a shelter house at Kariotis Park, creating a one-mile walking trail and installing informational signs. The presenters said Great Northern Development waits for reimbursement and that local government partners are not expected to provide upfront funding for these projects.
Commissioners and staff discussed logistics and next steps; no formal decisions were recorded at the meeting.
