On July 16, 2015, President Obama issued a major disaster declaration for the State of Colorado that allowed for Federal relief funds through FEMA of which this Trail Relocation project qualifies. To obtain the Federal funds the City must upfront the cost of the construction and apply for reimbursement from FEMA during the construction phase.
