Description:
The purpose of the Energy/Mineral Impact Assistance Fund is to assist political subdivisions that are socially and/or economically impacted by the development, processing, or energy conversion of minerals and mineral fuels. Funds come from the state severance tax on energy and mineral production and from a portion of the state’s share of royalties paid to the federal government for mining and drilling of minerals and mineral fuels on federally-owned land.
The Colorado Department of Local Affairs’ intent in administering this grant program is to promote sustainable community development, and to increase the livability and resilience of communities through strategic investments in asset-building activities. The most successful applications into this program are those that demonstrate urgency and local commitment to get the project done, show a high priority for the proposed application, are prepared to start work, and can demonstrate a relationship to energy and mineral impact in rural Colorado.
Eligible applicants:
Eligible entities to receive grants include municipalities, counties, school districts, special districts and other political subdivisions and state agencies.
