February 24th Commissioners Meeting

The Fremont County Commissioners handled a variety of routine business at their February 24th regular meeting following completion of the two hour review of the Southern Delivery System permit issue.

The Commissioners heard a request from Cotopaxi High School baseball team members Sarah Leatherberry and Cole Whitlow who detailed plans to seek a mini grant from Great Outdoors Colorado to build restroom facilities at the Cotopaxi baseball field. The baseball team is trying to secure a $42,500 GOCO mini grant for the restrooms project. The Commissioners voted to act as the sponsoring agent for the grant application and write a letter of support.
