Fund <br />Type of Grantee: State Government Median Household income: N/ A <br />CWCB Non-Reimbursable Inv.: $250,000 Interest Rate: N/A Term: N/A <br /> <br />SUMMARY <br />Within a one-month time frame beginning in August 2003, Colorado has received over $1 Inillion in federal <br />grant dollars for floodplain mapping activities that are"obligated in federai FY 2003. Since that time, Colorado <br />has received over $1 million additional FEMA grant dollars that are currently being spent on Map <br />Modernization studies. The FEMA funds are being matched by CWCB and local cost share dollars. The <br />existing Map Mod Program funds authorized in the 2003 Construction Fund Bill have provided the required <br />non-federal matching dollars (80120 cost share program). The State funds have also been instrumental in <br />keeping Colorado as a lead state within FEMA Region 8 and will continue to benefit a variety of Colorado <br />communities in the months and years to come. Without the State matching dollars5 Colorado could miss out on <br />millions of dollars in federal grants. It is fully expected that high levels ofFEMA funding (millions of $) will <br />stream into Colorado during the upcoming fiscal year and future years as well. <br /> <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 ariJi}future on-line viewing. <br /> <br /> <br />Project Impact Area <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />
