El Paso County is on the lookout for a civic-minded individual ready to make a difference in their community by serving on the El Paso County Community Development Advisory Board. This board plays a pivotal role in shaping the region’s development initiatives, and there’s an opening for a representative from the Town of Calhan. Interested locals have until March 4, to throw their hats in the ring for this opportunity.
The Community Development Advisory Board has the task of overseeing the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) initiatives, which have been transforming neighborhoods, spurring economic development, and enhancing community facilities and services since April 1, 2009. As reported by El Paso County, candidates should be from Calhan and ready to put their community first when considering the most impactful uses for CDBG funds.
Those who serve on the board join a team committed to revitalizing El Paso County, and they do so by making key recommendations to the county commissioners on matters related to community development. It's a role that requires not only a vision for the future but also a dedication to seeing it through. Meetings are set to align with the rhythms of working life, occurring typically on the third Wednesday of every month at 12:30 p.m. at the Economic Development Office, located right across the street from the courthouse at 9 East Vermijo, Colorado Springs, CO.
