On or about October 1, Adams County will submit a request to the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) for the release of Economic Development Initiative-Community Project Funding (EDI-CPF) Grant funds under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (Public Law 117-328), as amended, to undertake a project known as the Adams County Veterans Memorial Amphitheater for the purpose of creating additional recreational opportunities and enhanced outdoor value for patrons of the Adams County Fairground including construction of the Veterans Memorial Amphitheater and its associated support facilities (lawns, paths, parking), including a stage, seating area, restroom facility, additional parking lot, paved entry/drop off loop, and concrete and crushed fines gravel pedestrian pathways. The project also proposes a stormwater detention pond and turf grass lawns. The proposed project budget is estimated at approximately $5 million, with $750,000 in EDI-CPF funding.

The activities proposed are categorically excluded under HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58 from National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements. An Environmental Review Record (ERR) that documents the environmental determinations for this project is on file at the Adams County Government Center, 4430 S.

PUBLIC COMMENTS

Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to the Adams County Housing Policy & Community Investments Division.  All comments received by September 30, 2024, will be considered by Adams County prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds.

ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION

Adams County certifies to HUD that Emma Pinter in her capacity as Chair of the Board of County Commissioners consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied.  HUD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows Adams County to use Program funds.

OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS

HUD will accept objections to its release of fund and Adams County’s certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of Adams County; (b) Adams County has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the development process have committed funds, incurred costs or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality.  Objections must be prepared and submitted via email in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to Noemi Ghirghi, CPD Region VIII Director, at [email protected].  Potential objectors should contact [email protected] to verify the actual last day of the objection period.

Emma Pinter, Chair of the Board of County Commissioners
