November 2024: Boulder County Receives Grant for Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure
Boulder County has been awarded a $1.2 million federal grant to install electric vehicle charging stations at county facilities and public trailheads. The project will add 40 Level 2 chargers and 8 DC fast chargers at 12 locations across the county, with priority given to underserved communities.
Affordable housing remains the top priority identified in the 2025 Community Survey. Boulder County’s Worthy Cause program has funded 574 affordable housing units since its inception, with 86 additional units in the development pipeline.
Safety data from the Gunbarrel area shows 42 reported incidents in the past 12 months, a 16% change from the previous year. The Sheriff’s Office has increased patrols along SH-119 Diagonal Highway and added community outreach programs in response to resident feedback.
Next Steps
Data from the 2025 Boulder County Community Survey shows that 46% of respondents rated this service as “important” or “very important.” The survey, conducted every two years, received 3,545 responses from residents across the county.
The project includes improvements along SH-119 Diagonal Highway between Gunbarrel and the intersection with South Boulder Road. Construction is scheduled to begin in June 2026 with completion expected within 9 months.
