September: Circular Economy Fund Awards $50,000 to Five Local Organizations
Boulder County’s Resource Conservation Division has awarded $50,000 in grants to five local organizations through the 2026 Circular Economy Fund. Recipients include projects focused on food waste reduction, textile reuse, construction material salvage, and community repair events.
Safety data from the Niwot area shows 34 reported incidents in the past 12 months, a 19% change from the previous year. The Sheriff’s Office has increased patrols along Nelson Road and added community outreach programs in response to resident feedback.
The project includes improvements along Nelson Road between Niwot and the intersection with 63rd Street. Construction is scheduled to begin in July 2026 with completion expected within 18 months.
