Governor Polis celebrated a historic round of grants from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation for projects in Colorado totaling $176.8M from the Inflation Reduction Act, including up to $40M for the Colorado River Water Conservation District’s acquisition of the water rights associated with the Shoshone power plant. “The Colorado River is a lifeline for the Western Slope and the thousands of Coloradans who call it home. This support for the Shoshone water rights is a huge step towards ensuring that the river will continue flowing to western Colorado farmers, ranchers, communities, and businesses,” said Gov. Polis.
