The Windsor Beacon reports that the Town of Windsor and City of Fort Collins should find out in six months whether they have received a grant to pay for the reconstruction of the aging Interstate 25/Colorado Highway 392 interchange.

The two bodies met at the Council Tree Library in Fort Collins Wednesday night to finalize their plan for the interchange and talk about their upcoming application for a federal Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant. The grant application is due Sept. 15. The municipalities expect to hear about the grant’s approval or denial by next February.

The federal government is allocating $1.5 billion in TIGER grants with no state able to receive more than $300 million, according to Windsor Town Manager Kelly Arnold.

Colorado has seven current projects seeking TIGER funding. The I-25/Colo. 392 project is one of those.
