amount of $25,000 has been awarded to the City of Pueblo to complete the project.
The grant monies will be sent to the City and passed through to BHS.
The City and the Bessemer Historical Society will need to execute a cooperation

Society including method of payment, and the terms of agreement.

National Park Service grant contract.
