Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) offers one Local Parks and Outdoor Recreation (LPOR) cycle per year. Applications for the 2019-2020 cycle are due on Thursday, October 24th, 2019. Staff plans to submit an application for funds to assist in the completion of Erie Community Park. The application will be a request for the maximum amount of $350,000 to assist in construction of Erie Community Park based on the final design and construction documents currently being developed by Design Concepts.
