Weld County issued the following announcement on Sept. 23.

While the online surveys asking for resident feedback on the county’s comprehensive and transportation plans are now closed, there are still opportunities for residents to provide input to the commissioners as they work toward updating two frameworks that will guide Weld County’s growth and transportation in the future.

Four hundred and fifty-one surveys have been completed since the effort to gain in-person public feedback began in January before the survey process moved online in response to COVID-19. Residents who didn’t have a chance to complete the online surveys can still give their thoughts by:

•  Sharing comments with Jim Flesher, Weld County Long-Range Planner, at jflesher@weldgov.com or by faxing (970) 304-6498. Comments can also be mailed to Jim Flesher, PO Box 758, Greeley, CO 80632.
• Providing feedback during the three-reading process. Each reading is a public hearing. Public hearings will be Wednesday, September 30, Monday, October 19 and Monday, November 9. All public hearings will be at 9:00 a.m. in the Centennial Hearing Room of the Weld County Administration Building, located at 1150 O Street in Greeley.

“With the state demographer projecting the county’s population to be 710,000 by 2050, these plans help us identify how to best prepare for growth and the demand on transportation” Weld County Commissioner Chair Mike Freeman said. “This county belongs to our residents, and their feedback is critical to the process. We encourage as many people as possible to provide their thoughts on the future of Weld County.”
