Water Supply Finance and Construction Program — Project Data <br /> • Grantee: Colorado Water Conservation Board County: Statewide <br /> Project Name: Colorado Floodplain Map Modernization Program <br /> Project Type: Flood Protection Program Matching Funds for Federal Grants <br /> Drainage Basin: All River Basins in Colorado Water Source: N/A <br /> Total Project Cost: $2,000,000 Funding Source: CWCB Const. Fund <br /> Type of Grantee: State Government Median Household income: N/A <br /> CWCB Non-Reimbursable Inv.: $215,000 Interest Rate: N/A Term: N/A <br /> SUMMARY <br /> Within a one month timeframe beginning in August 2003, Colorado has received over$1 million in federal <br /> grant dollars for floodplain mapping activities that are obligated in federal FY 2003. There is a moderate chance <br /> of additional FY 03 grants prior to October 1St, and an excellent chance of additional funding(possibly$1 <br /> million or more)in early 2004. The existing Map Mod Program funds authorized in the 2003 Construction <br /> Fund Bill have provided the required non-federal matching dollars (80/20 or 75/25 cost share program <br /> depending on which program the federal funds are granted from) in conjunction with local hard and soft match <br /> contributions. The State funds have also been instrumental in keeping Colorado as a lead state within FEMA <br /> Region 8 and will continue to benefit a variety of Colorado communities in the months and years to come. <br /> Without the State matching dollars, Colorado could miss out on millions of dollars in federal grants. <br /> • The impact area of the Floodplain Map Modernization Program is within the entire state of Colorado. The <br /> Project objective is to develop updated countywide floodplain maps using current community base map <br /> information within a digital environment. The use of state-of-the-art GIS,technology will be employed for all <br /> new countywide studies in Colorado for ease of distribution,updating and future on-line viewing. <br /> •gwick <br /> •Weld <br /> Jackso <br /> •Garfield _ <br /> Teller <br /> , • <br /> ■ <br /> El Paso l , ar <br /> Crowley <br /> r .' o lircdal aster _ y <br /> �: Provers <br /> • <br /> •Dolores <br /> Rio■ <br /> Grande <br /> G��stilla <br /> • L a sip �.._ <br /> Project Impact Area <br />
