The State of Colorado, in partnership with the Colorado Restaurant Association (CRA), Colorado Restaurant Foundation (CRF), American Council of Engineering Companies of Colorado (ACEC), the American Institute of Architects Colorado (AIA) and the Associated General Contractors of Colorado (AGC) teamed up with other design and construction professionals in an effort to encourage and support restaurants in the creation of outdoor dining spaces this winter.
The second round of applications is open now, with a goal of distributing grant funds by December 21st.
If any county wishes to participate, CRA can set up a restricted fund through which the county supplies the funds, and CRA sets aside grants for restaurants in that county. CRA is working with DOLA to clarify this as an eligible CVRF expense.
