The resolution directs county staff to review and strengthen existing policies.<\/p>\n<p>Environmental review of the project area near 63rd Street found 8 sensitive species and 3 wetland areas requiring mitigation. The Public Health worked with Colorado Parks and Wildlife to develop a habitat conservation plan.<\/p>\n<p>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 $88,000 per year. Applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis.<\/p>\n<h3>Contact Information<\/h3>\n<p>For questions about this program, contact James Rodriguez at Public Health: (303) 441-2761 or email Public Health@bouldercounty.gov. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. Walk-in services are available at the Lyons office without an appointment.<\/p>\n<p>The project includes improvements along 63rd Street between Lyons and the intersection with Baseline Road. Construction is scheduled to begin in May 2026 with completion expected within 18 months.<\/p>\n<h3>What You Need to Know<\/h3>\n<p>According to James Rodriguez, director of Public Health, this program served 19% more residents in 2024 compared to the previous year. &#8220;We&#8217;re seeing unprecedented demand from communities across Boulder County, particularly in Lyons and the surrounding area,&#8221; James Rodriguez said.<\/p>\n<p>Climate considerations are central to this effort. Boulder County&#8217;s 2025 Climate Action Plan sets targets of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 19% below 2005 levels by 2030. This project contributes to those goals through energy efficiency improvements, renewable energy integration, and reduced vehicle miles traveled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Boulder County Board of Commissioners has issued a resolution reaffirming the county&#8217;s commitment to protecting immigrant community members and ensuring equal access to county services regardless of immigration status.
