History

The Piñon Project grew out of local neighborhood groups and the Colorado Trust's Healthy Communities Initiative in the early 1990's.  Through the Initiative, Montezuma County engaged in a process of creating a statement of vision for our community's future.  The Piñon Project evolved from that vision statement.
