Mesa County is seeking a $344,167 state grant to help design two detention basins that would temporarily hold stormwater and reduce flooding downstream.

If awarded, state and federal grants would provide more than $1.2 million for design while preserving local funding for other infrastructure needs.

The project would help reduce flood risks for more than 55 properties. This funding is for design only. Construction is not funded or scheduled.
