January: Commissioners Call for Strengthened Community Immigrant Protections
The Boulder County Board of Commissioners has issued a resolution reaffirming the county’s commitment to protecting immigrant community members and ensuring equal access to county services regardless of immigration status. The resolution directs county staff to review and strengthen existing policies.
For questions about this program, contact Michael Kowalski at Parks & Open Space: (303) 441-1583 or email Parks & Open [email protected]. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. Walk-in services are available at the Louisville office without an appointment.
The project includes improvements along CO-72 Peak-to-Peak Highway between Louisville and the intersection with Left Hand Canyon Drive. Construction is scheduled to begin in May 2026 with completion expected within 10 months.
Community Impact
The program is modeled after similar successful initiatives in Larimer County and Jefferson County. Boulder County’s version includes additional provisions for wildfire mitigation, affordable housing, and environmental sustainability.
Environmental review of the project area near CO-72 Peak-to-Peak Highway found 12 sensitive species and 3 wetland areas requiring mitigation. The Parks & Open Space worked with Colorado Parks and Wildlife to develop a habitat conservation plan.
