Air Quality Meeting in Grand Junction May 14-15
 

Colorado's Air Quality Control Commission is having its May meeting in Grand Junction.  There will be an opportunity for public comment on May 15th from noon to 1:30. The meeting will be at the Marriott Courtyard, 765 Horizon Drive.

This will be a great opportunity to keep the issue of oil and gas front and center for the Air Commission, as well as to help educate some of the newer commissioners.  It would be worthwhile for everyone who can make it to attend and provide some comment. Contact Matt at (970) 256-7650 for more information.

Celebrate Our Waterfronts in Palisade

June 11

 

Mesa County is fortunate to have large sections of intact vegetated stream corridors, but rapid development is putting these corridors at risk. Western Colorado Congress will host a celebration at Palisade Riverbend Park from 5:30 - 8:30 pm of our waterfronts and a discussion of how to protect and enhance this important community asset.

Featuring a panel discussion on the history and future of Mesa County’s waterfronts, and the tools we can use to protect them. Speakers will include Mesa State College professor Russell Walker and Brian Mahoney, former chair of the Riverfront Commission.

Food, drinks and music! For more information, contact Hannah at (970) 256-7650.
