It's no secret that Boulder County is a desirable place to live. New people move here all the time, and our local government has had to closely examine the effects of a population that went from 131,889 in 1970 to 329,543 in 2021. With considerations like fire safety, equality, transportation, and preserving nature's beauty, we're constantly seeking ways to find balance between our community and the land it occupies.
