4 Ranges Community Recreation Foundation

The first two years of the Foundation has been spent in identifying donors and collecting funds and pledges. The Foundation also is working with the city to identify suitable property to build the recreational center, identify Community needs through public meetings, and develop the initial plans for the facilities. During the fiscal year ended 6/30/23, many Community meetings were held to discuss the services that will be offered by the wellness center and how future tax and membership revenues may be assessed for continuing operations. Site selection has been affected by the historic flooding in june of 2022 of the area near the original site contemplated, and alternative sites are being developed through the input of the city and the Community members. The board is working with consultants in not only obtaining funds and pledges from potential donors, but identifying areas with potentially favorable tax credit and federal funding opportunities,assessing environmental impacts of the proposed locations, responding to Community concerns through attendance at city meetings, prepared several press releases, commenced a feasiblity study,prepared and distributed a community-wide survey, and began working on a video production.
