Rocky Flats Cold War Museum
WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Sen. Wayne Allard (R-Colo.), a member of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy & Water Development, announced today that the Rocky Flats War Museum has been awarded a $492,000 Department of Energy Grant.
“Funding for this project is particularly important to me, as it will help preserve the legacy and history of Rocky Flats,” said Allard. “Documenting the world renowned clean-up of Rocky Flats will serve as a reminder to us all of how Colorado made the impossible, possible.”
This funding will be used for initial museum and exhibit development planning and will assist efforts to improve the storage and documentation of artifacts.
“Our nation owes a debt to the men and women that worked at Rocky Flats. Their efforts helped overcome the staggering threat of communism,” continued Allard. “The museum will serve as a daily reminder of the challenges our country faced during the Cold War and the many sacrifices made by our nation’s Cold War Veterans.”
Allard was an original sponsor of the Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge Act which statutorily required that the former nuclear weapons production facility be cleaned-up and transferred to the U.S. Dept. of Interior for purposes of a Wildlife Refuge. Since 1996, Allard had worked to ensure the successful clean-up of Rocky Flats, securing more than $7 billion dollars for clean-up funding and community involvement efforts. The clean-up effort was completed in December 2005 and the Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge was officially established in July 2007. The Rocky Flats Technology Site manufactured components for nuclear weapons for our nation’s defense until 1988. The 6,200 acre complex once housed more than 100 buildings and is located 16 miles northwest of downtown Denver.
