The Fremont County Board of Commissioners dealt with a brief agenda of business at Tuesday's regular meeting. The Board authorized the signing of an agreement with Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) on behalf of the RE-3 Cotopaxi School District for a $31,500 GOCO recreation mini grant. The County sponsored the grant application on behalf of the school district to assist in further development of the Cotopaxi High School baseball field. The money will be used to drill a well and deliver water to the baseball field so that in-field grass can be planted and maintained.
In a report to the Commissioners, Qwest Marketing Director Abel Chavez detailed plans for high-speed internet service now available in the Penrose area. Chavez said the high-speed internet is the result of Qwest's upgrade of the local telecommunications network which will provide Penrose residents with immediate access to the internet. He said customers can receive the service for $29.99 per month with a qualifying Qwest home phone package.
