Red Cliff Mayor Ramon Montoya, left, and Charles Unseld, deputy director of Colorado's Department of Local Affairs, share the ribbon cutting responsibilities for the new Red Cliff $4.2 million wastewater treatment plant Friday in Red Cliff. Federal stimulus dollars from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act covered a majority of the project's cost. State and local grants paid for the rest. R.N. Civil Construction based in Centennial started work on the plant in 2009. The town's old treatment plant dated back to the '70s and had long been considered a scourge to the environment.
