Greeley's City Council has officially named our newest natural area Arroyos del Sol! This 978-acre property, acquired in partnership with Trust for Public Land, doubles the amount of protected natural land in Greeley and provides a vital habitat for northern Colorado’s wildlife. The name "Arroyos del Sol," meaning “sun stream” in Spanish, reflects the area’s unique landscape—steep arroyos and bluffs over 100 feet above the Poudre River valley. This name was selected after thorough community engagement and thoughtful deliberation. Development plans will be unveiled in early 2025, promising exciting outdoor recreation opportunities for our region. This is another step toward Greeley’s commitment to enhancing quality of life and environmental stewardship.

It's all hands on deck for the 16th Street Enhancement project in Greeley! The stretch of 16th Street between 11th and 7th Avenues is chock-full of important historical architecture, connection points to the University of Northern Colorado, and many of Greeley's small businesses. Over the course of the next year, the City of Greeley will upgrade the infrastructure in the area to refresh utility lines, improve traffic safety, add more parking, and create a more pedestrian-friendly environment for residents and visitors. Of course, to make this vision a reality, there will be construction impacts for our community members who live, work and play in the area. To kick off road work, city staff from Public Works, Water & Sewer, City of Greeley Economic Development & Urban Revitalization, as well as our construction partners and the Downtown Development Authority met with dozens of businesses to ensure everyone knows what to expect in the coming months. Thank you to John Galt Coffee for hosting us, and to multiple restaurants along 16th Street for catering and attending! It was lovely to connect with folks from Autotailer, Margie's Java Joint, Madison & Main, D.P Dough, High Brau Taphouse, La Fiesta Express, and more. We're grateful to all our community members who are invested in the outcome of this major project — and we can't wait to enjoy the improved 16th Street together when the work is done!

Greeley has long prioritized the safety and quality of its water, taking a proactive approach to address potential risks. With the recent announcement of the EPA's Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI), Greeley is well-prepared to meet these new federal requirements, thanks to its ongoing efforts through the Lead Protection Program. On October 8, the Environmental Protection Agency announced a landmark rule called the Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI). It requires water utilities to proactively replace water service lines that contain lead within 10 years. The new rule strengthens requirements for locating lead pipes, improving testing for lead in water and ensuring that exposure is minimized while lead water service lines are being replaced. Keri Fishlock, the project manager for Greeley’s Lead Protection Program, said “Many of our lead service lines have already been replaced as part of previous projects. We are focused on verifying the status of every water service line in the city and replacing all remaining service lines that may contain lead.” Greeley Water customers can complete a questionnaire about their water service line material, which helps the city schedule service line replacements and complete an inventory of over 29,000 water service lines. Per the EPA's 2021 Lead and Copper Rule Revision, Greeley Water customers can utilize an interactive map to search for their property and see their service line material at https://lnkd.in/gRdgmuhH. The city replaces water service lines found to contain lead at no cost to the homeowner and provides free water pitcher filters for up to six months following a service line replacement.

The gBETA Greeley accelerator program kicks off tonight, October 16 at the Atlas Theater. We hope to see you there!
