Though the Woodbury playground upgrade project will still be completed this year, the Craig City Council pulled a grant request for the project to shift focus to the Yampa River Corridor project. Craig had recently requested $168,000 in Colorado Department of Local Affairs Tier 1 grant funding. That request was pulled this week, with council replacing it with a $200,000-ask for a Tier 1 grant to cover architectural and engineering costs for the Yampa River Corridor project. City Manager Peter Brixius told council Tuesday in a discussion with DOLA, representatives told the city of Craig that “because of limited funding from severance and federal mineral lease tax, they felt like a playground project through them would not yield a good response in terms of the community’s allocation of funds.”
