Community Builders

A note from our team members in Washington, DC this week, attending the Building Resilient Economies in Coal Communities Forum. #naco #brecc #communitybldrs

Our CB team returned to the West End last week, meeting with folks to review the community values we gathered in the fall. These conversations shape the vision and goals in the next phase of the project, so we want to be sure we get it right! Here, Montrose Co. Commissioner Sue Hansen and Norwood Town Clerk Amanda Pierce's comments on the process so far. #communitybldrs #westendvision

One Community Project Underway! Together with the City of Leadville and Lake County, CB will kick off community values conversations for the One Community Project from February 4-6. Project partners will hold three Community Kick-Off parties this week, as well as a series of small group conversations throughout the town (events include both Spanish and English opportunities). We are excited to connect in person and hear your hopes and dreams for the future of your city and county! https://lnkd.in/gBR_WGcN

Looking forward! Our team works remotely from the North Fork Valley, up and down the Roaring Fork and over to the Front Range. Every now and again, we meet in person to catch up and look at the big picture. Last week in the midst of the arctic front we got together in Golden to reset and refresh all things Community Builders. Here we are after a day of strategic thinking!

We are reaching for new heights in 2025! Our team is working across the state and the mountain region with communities looking to positively impact their towns through improved access to housing, transportation, energy resources, and economic recovery. We are excited for the future! Photo: CB team member at our fall retreat soaring over Glenwood Springs.
