🌲PRE AND POST-FIRE FUELS REDUCTION COST-SHARE PROGRAMS🌲 Grand County Wildfire Council (GCWC) is excited to announce the rollout of a new cost-share program for victims of the 2020 Grand County Wildfires thanks to a generous donation from the Grand Foundation through their Wildfire Emergency Fund. The new Post-Fire Cost Share Program specifically targets hazard tree removal by HOAs, homeowner groups, and individual landowners affected by the East Troublesome and Williams Fork Fires. Projects, such as HOA chipping days and individually contracted hazard tree removal, may be reimbursed for up to 50% of their total cost depending on project prioritization and funding availability. GCWC will prioritize projects for the Post-Fire Hazard Tree Removal Cost-Share Program according to the following scheme. FIRST PRIORITY: Projects that have not begun work yet and that address hazard tree removal along roads and driveways, utility lines, and within 30 feet of the home site. SECOND PRIORITY: Projects that have already been completed that address hazard tree removal along roads and driveways, utility lines, and within 30 of the existing or proposed home site. LAST PRIORITY: Projects that address tree removal on vacant land or removal of trees that are more than 30 feet from home site. ADDITIONAL PRIORITIES:1) Primary homeowners will be prioritized over secondary homeowners (not applicable to HOA/Homeowner Group Chipping Projects with mixed ownership).2) Uninsured and under-insured homeowners will be prioritized over fully insured individuals. More information and an online application for GCWC’s Post-Fire Hazard Tree Cost Share Program can be found at bewildfireready.org. Individuals not impacted by the East Troublesome or Williams Fork Fires who wish to do pre-fire mitigation and fuels reduction may apply for GCWC’s other cost share program: the Pre-Fire Fuels Reduction Cost Share Program. #WildfireReady #WildfirePreparedness #FirePrevention #COFire #COReady #GrandCounty #GrandCountyColorado #EastTroublesomeFire #WilliamsForkFire #Kremmling #Parshall #HotSulphurSprings #Fraser #Granby #GrandLake #Tabernash #WinterPark
