Land Acquisition | Great Outdoors Colorado The Land Acquisition program supports urban and rural landscape, waterway, and habitat protection priorities and improves outdoor access.
Competitive projects consider opportunities for passive public recreation access; wildlife habitat and migration corridors; critical watersheds, waterways, and riparian ecosystems; scenic viewsheds and greenways; and open spaces, particularly those that serve disproportionately impacted communities. Eligible projects are fee-simple land acquisitions that provide public access.
GOCO also considers conservation easements when tax credits are financially insufficient or impractical.
Organizations eligible for GOCO funding include Colorado cities, towns, and counties; Title 32 special districts; land conservation organizations that advance the acquisition of open space; political subdivisions of the State of Colorado whose missions are to identify, manage, or acquire open space and natural areas; and Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Generally, up to $3 million per project.
GOCO may suggest a revised award amount as needed. When funding is available, GOCO may consider larger investments in high-impact projects. GOCO loans and reimbursement opportunities may also be available to support acquisitions.
