<br />I <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Acknowledgments <br /> <br /> <br />The NEA Riverfront Design Project was a very exciting component of our overall project. Our appreciation is extended <br />to Senator William Armstrong and his staff for their support of our grant request. <br />There were many people responsible for making this project a success. We wish to acknowledge those who shared <br />their ideas and expertise with the design team members: Patty Schrader, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; Bill Clark <br />and Alan Czenkusch, Colorado Divsion ofWildlifej Carlos Sauvage, BLMj Brian Mahoney, Ward Scott, Judge William <br />Ela, Pat Gormley, Jane Quimby and Rebecca Frank, Riverfront Commission; Don Macdonald, Department of <br />Energy/UNC; Dave Davis, Western Colorado Center for the Arts; Marce Teas, Mesa County Planning; Ted Ciavonne, <br />Ciavonne & Associatesj Ted Novack, City Parks and Recreation; and Tom Kenyon, Colorado Division of Parks & <br />Outdoor Recreation. A special thanks to Dave Fishell, local historian, who entertained our guests with stories of years <br />gone by and was available throughout the team's visit to share historical facts. <br />The project would not have been possible without the cooperation of the affected landowners. The following property <br />owners provided invaluable information to the design team: Frank Dunn, Bill Serviss, John Crouch, Dean VanGundy, <br />Tom Lewis, Butch Jarvis, Rev. Paul Thomas, Roy Gamble, Phyllis BoHan, Pat Belcastro, Frank Randall, E.M. Yeager, <br />and Charles Pennal. <br />Special thanks to Jon SchIer with the Colorado Department of Local Affairs for providing three talented landscape <br />architect students to work with the design team. We also thank Jeff Kelley who drafted the base maps used by the team. <br />Logistical support from two local agencies made it possible for the design team to tour the area. Thanks to U.S. <br />West Telecommunications for providing a helicopter tour and Mesa County Transportation Services for providing a <br />van for the ground tours. <br />Finally, we'd like to thank the design team members, City staff, and the community for their support and enthusiasm. <br />The designs and strategies developed will be invaluable in the redevelopment of the Colorado Riverfront through Grand <br />Junction. <br /> <br />ii <br />
