HomeMy WebLinkAboutTown of Firestone Expands Via Services! - 8/16/2021Town of Firestone Accepts CDBG Funds for Expanded Via Services On July 14, 2021, the Board of Trustees approved an agreement with Weld County for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to expand the service agreement of Via Mobility Services for Firestone residents. Weld County was awarded CDBG funding in 2021, providing an opportunity for Weld County communities to apply as sub-recipients for funding for public improvements, including adequate public infrastructure, housing preservation, and access to public services. The Town of Firestone applied for funding to support the expansion of Via Mobility Services for the benefit of residents that are low to moderate-income, 60+ years of age, or disabled. The Town was awarded $90,000 from the County's CDBG allocation on March 29, 2021. Due to this funding, in a separate action, the Board of Trustees approved a modification to the original service agreement with Via to extend the hours and days the service is available to Firestone residents. The new service schedule starts this week! The days and times are as follows: Monday through Friday, from 8 AM to 3 PM, unless the day falls on a federal holiday. DO I QUALIFY? You must live within the Town of Firestone. You must be 60 years old or older or have a disability. Residents with a temporary disability qualify for this service. WHERE CAN I GO? Via can take you almost anywhere you would like to go, including medical appointments, therapy, grocery stores, social events, senior centers, adult day programs, employment, and more. Via can also pick up and deliver pre-paid grocery orders within the Town of Firestone. Service is available within the Town of Firestone and between Firestone and Frederick, Dacono, Boulder, Longmont, Louisville, or Lafayette. Service between communities may be limited to certain days.
