The Montezuma County Social Services Department is one of five departments statewide to receive a $200,000 federal grant from the Colorado Department of Human Services’ Office of Early Childhood. The office recently awarded more than $2.5 million through a federal program that supports keeping children and their families together. Social Services Director Josiah Forkner told the county commissioners on Monday he is proud that Montezuma County was the only one of the five recipients that is not an urban, Front Range county.
