Gross Reservoir Community Impact Mitigation Fund Coordinator

 

Greetings! As the Boulder County Commissioners' Office Gross Reservoir Community Impact Mitigation Fund coordinator, I have been meeting with Gross Reservoir neighbors and gathering information to help the County Commissioners determine–with direct input from you, the Gross Reservoir community–how best to distribute the $5 million Denver Water settlement fund for residents impacted by the Gross Dam Expansion Project. 

We encourage you to take the opportunities below to engage with us in this effort. 

We Want to Hear From You -- Take Our Survey

We have been collecting information about noise, lighting, truck traffic, visual, and other impacts associated with Denver Water's Gross Dam Expansion project through in-person meetings, emails, phone calls, and community meetings.

If we don't already have your information, please complete the Gross Reservoir Community 2022 survey to provide us with your address and the specific impacts at your residence.

Information from the survey will help us determine which households are eligible for impact mitigation funds.
