A big thanks to all our residents and guests who visit, stay the night, shop, and participate in gaming in the City of Black Hawk, which in turn supports the city’s commitment to education.
The 1.5% Black Hawk Educational Enhancement Tax, passed by Black Hawk residents in 2008, generated a total of $481,326 in 2009. Black Hawk distributed these funds directly to the Gilpin RE-1 School District.
In addition to the Educational Enhancement Tax, Black Hawk’s scholarship fund has generated more than $450,000 distributed to 227 Gilpin RE-1 students since its inception in 1994.
