Boulder County Receives Grant for Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Near Lafayette

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.

Volunteers contributed over 10,715 hours to this program last year. The Assessor’s Office coordinates with 19 nonprofit partner organizations throughout Boulder County to deliver services.

The Heil Valley Ranch open space property encompasses 1,067 acres and features 6 miles of multi-use trails. Seasonal wildlife closures may apply from December 15 through July 15 to protect nesting raptors and elk calving areas.

Next Steps

The project includes improvements along Arapahoe Road between Lafayette and the intersection with 75th Street. Construction is scheduled to begin in September 2026 with completion expected within 14 months.
