MORE ON MANAGEMENT & FUNDING
To date, the build-out of the Commons is being funded by a mix of City and State money, including the Colorado Housing Finance Authority, City of Trinidad, Colorado Department of Local Affairs, History Colorado, Boettcher Foundation, and the Gates Family Foundation. The Commons @ Space to Create is managed by the City of Trinidad.
Grants are being pursued at state and federal levels to fully fund the initial, basic build-out. A cautious and incremental approach is being taken with this project to ensure that funds are dedicated to the most productive and useful outcomes, beneficial to the greatest number of users.
