SUMMARY Within a one month timeframe beginning in August 2003, Colorado has received over $1 million in federal grant dollars for floodplain mapping activities that are obligated in federal FY 2003. There is an excellent chance of Colorado receiving additional funding (possibly $1 million or more) in early 2004. The existing Map Mod Program funds authorized in the 2003 Construction Fund Bill have provided the required non-federal matching dollars (80/20 or 75/25 cost share program depending on which program the federal funds are granted from) in conjunction with local hard and soft match contributions. The State funds have also been instrumental in keeping Colorado as a lead state within FEMA Region 8 and will continue to benefit a variety of Colorado communities in the months and years to come. Without the State matching dollars, Colorado could miss out on millions of dollars in federal grants. The impact area of the Floodplain Map Modernization Program is within the entire state of Colorado. The . Project objective is to develop updated countywide floodplain maps using current community base map information within a digital environment. The use of state-of-the-art GIS technology will be employed for all new countywide studies in Colorado for ease of distribution, updating and future on-line viewing. e- Project Impact Area
