Stimulus

The Colorado Department of Agriculture is now accepting applications to distribute Colorado Comeback stimulus funds to conservation districts and other eligible entities. 

The funding comes from Senate Bill 21-235, which appropriated $2 million to the Colorado Department of Agriculture to administer voluntary soil health programs. By statute, $1 million of those funds will go directly to conservation districts. Applications are open until September 15, 2021. 

After a record-setting $76 million in funds was appropriated to the Colorado Department of Agriculture as part of the Colorado Comeback stimulus, the Department is seeking input from stakeholders on how to invest the funding.
