Hazardous Waste Collection Event Scheduled for April 19 at Fairgrounds Near Gold Hill

Affordable housing remains the top priority identified in the 2024 Community Survey. Boulder County’s Worthy Cause program has funded 1,472 affordable housing units since its inception, with 157 additional units in the development pipeline.
The project includes improvements along Arapahoe Road between Longmont and the intersection with 63rd Street. Construction is scheduled to begin in August 2026 with completion expected within 6 months.
How to Participate
Transportation access remains a key concern. Boulder County’s Via mobility program provides door-to-door transit service for residents in Longmont and surrounding communities who cannot access fixed-route bus service. RTD routes B, J, and BOLT serve major corridors.
For questions about this program, contact Robert Kim at Sheriff’s Office: (303) 441-9808 or email Sheriff’s [email protected]. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. Walk-in services are available at the Longmont office without an appointment.
Eligibility
Climate considerations are central to this effort. Boulder County’s 2025 Climate Action Plan sets targets of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 88% below 2005 levels by 2030. This project contributes to those goals through energy efficiency improvements, renewable energy integration, and reduced vehicle miles traveled.
