Launch Event for Larimer SCFD Petition-Signing Campaign

Poudre Landmarks Foundation encourages community members to support the Larimer Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD), a worthy endeavor that would benefit not only the 1879 Avery House and the 1883 Water Works but many other art, culture, and science organizations throughout Larimer County.

The SCFD will be a game changer for Larimer County and will greatly enhance cultural experiences for all!

Larimer SCFD
Support Science & Culture in Larimer County
Larimer SCFD believes that access to science and cultural experiences for all citizens is essential to the current and future prosperity of Larimer County. This regional, cooperative venture is modeled on the successful Denver SCFD, a special tax district established in 1988 in the Denver metro area to support art, culture, and science organizations to enrich the community.

The creation of a Larimer SCFD is to be determined by the voters of Larimer County on November 8, 2016. These public dollars would create a sustainable, consistent source of funds for natural science, natural history, visual arts, performing arts, and cultural history experiences throughout Larimer County. The Larimer SCFD is a new levy of a one-tenth of one percent sales tax (one penny on a $10 purchase).

Come to the petition-launch party this Saturday! There will be a presentation to help everyone understand the positive impact the SCFD will have, followed by a volunteer training, a meet-and-greet with team captains, and a sign-up for volunteer positions.

When: Saturday, May 21, 4-6pm
Where: Community Creative Center / Carnegie Building, 200 Mathews St., Fort Collins, CO 80522

PLEASE DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO BE THERE, AND INVITE EVERYBODY ON YOUR MAILING LIST! THERE'S NO TIME TO WASTE!
