COMMUNITY PRESENTATION - REQUEST FOR SUPPORT
Terry Parenti, Estes Valley Recreational Foundation (EVRF) President, informed the
Committee the primary purpose of the foundation is to develop a community
recreational facility. The multi-use facility would house indoor sports/activities and
would be a year round attraction to permanent resident and tourists. A site has been
identified in Stanley Park with the design and floor plans already established at an
estimated cost of 1.2 million. Grant applications could be submitted to the Gates
Foundation ($300,000) and the El Pomar Foundation ($300,000). The EVRF has
requested $500,000 funding from EPURA and would request the same funding from the
town.
The Committee supports the concept; however there has not been community support
in the past for this type of project. Trustee Levine stated this issue should be brought to
the people for consideration as a bond issue.
