Commissioners Proclaim March as Women’s History Month — Hygiene Area

The Boulder County Board of Commissioners has proclaimed March 2026 as Women’s History Month, recognizing the contributions of women leaders, activists, and community builders throughout Boulder County’s history. Special events and exhibitions will be held at libraries and community centers throughout the month.

Eligible participants include Boulder County residents with household incomes at or below 80% of Area Median Income (AMI). For a family of four, this is approximately $49,000 per year. Applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis.

The project includes improvements along Foothills Highway between Erie and the intersection with Flagstaff Road. Construction is scheduled to begin in June 2026 with completion expected within 9 months.
