Grand Avenue • Pueblo, Colorado 81003 719 -543 -6772 August 31, 1993 Mr. Lewis Quigley City Manager City of Pueblo, Colorado #1 City Hall Place Pueblo, Colorado 81003 Dear Mr. Quigley: Society It is my understanding that the acquisition and development of the Denver Rio Grande Western Railroad's Freight Depot requires matching funds to provide for the Environmental Analysis and Schematic and Design Development costs and, that these preliminary needs must be satisfied before the project can proceed. The Pueblo County Historical Society is vitally interested in the South Downtown Commuter Link Project and the Directors have authorized me to offer $3000.00 to assist with the matching funds required for the Schematic and Design Development Phase One costs of the project. Their offer is dependent on the City of Pueblo acquiring an option /firm commitment to purchase the old Denver & Rio Grand Western Railroad Freight Depot and that the Environmental Analysis does not disclose materials that would cause the City or the Society to be responsible for removal or other liabilities. If these reservations meet with your approval, we will provide the funds upon request. Sin rely; George R.
