The master plan for the 100 acre Las Colonias Park was adopted by City Council on July 3, 2013. The master plan includes an outdoor amphitheater, trail connections, parking, restroom/shelters, riparian restoration, a wetland area, and other passive park amenities. A Great Outdoors Colorado grant has been submitted for Phase I development to include a restroom/shelter, trail connections, parking improvements and additions, lighting, a native arboretum, and furnishings. Development is expected to begin in the summer of 2014. The Grand Junction Lions Club has pledged a $300,000 commitment to the development of the outdoor amphitheater, so these grant funds will be used to develop construction documents for the outdoor features, a conceptual plan for the stage and multi-purpose facility, and construction documents for the stage and multi-purpose facility.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City Council of the City of Grand Junction does hereby authorize the City Manager to submit a $180,000 grant request in accordance with and pursuant to the recitals stated above to the Department of Local Affairs’ Energy and Mineral Impact Assistance Program for final design and phasing options for Las Colonias Park Amphitheater.
