UPDATE (SUMMER 2017):
After much hard work and submission in fall for a funding grant, unfortunately the Town of Ridgway was not awarded the GOCO Local Park and Outdoor Recreation grant in the last funding cycle. However, we are already working on revisions and re-submitting a very strong proposal in fall 2017 for the 2018 spring award.
This application was a joint effort between the Town and Ridgway Community Garden (RCG). We will continue working together to re-submit a competitive GOCO request for Phase 1 construction of the new Green Street Park (bathroom, access and parking, utilities) and main infrastructure for the community garden within it (wildlife fence, irrigation system, garden plots, main pathway, shade trees, high tunnel, tool shed, info kiosk, picnic benches and bike racks). We are halfway to our goal to raise $20,000 for essential community garden components of the Green Street Park project. We need your help in reaching our goal by October 1, 2017 to support the Town’s grant request from Great Outdoors Colorado. We thank you in advance for keeping the dream of a new community garden alive.
Best to you all - Steering Committee for the RCG
