Weld County seeks resident input on housing, government services, and infrastructure to shape policies that better serve the community.

Weld County Government is working on several projects that will benefit residents. From improving how information and services are delivered, to building safer transportation systems, and learning about the needs and concerns of residents, a variety of opportunities exist for residents to engage in county government. 

Under Senate Bill 24-174, a Housing Needs Assessment is required by the state to inventory existing housing availability in unincorporated Weld County. The study utilizes housing, demographic, resource and economic data to inform the board of commissioners about housing policies and trends to ensure county programs align with county goals. Public input is being gathered until March 31, 2025.

Weld County’s Good Government plan analyzes how current methods to provide information and services can be improved. The county also would like to know how residents want to engage with county departments, whether that be through programs, in person, or alternative technology. The plan aims to produce guidelines that departments will use to improve their services to taxpayers. Public input is being taken through April 30, 2025.

“We are excited to bring these projects to fruition with the help of our residents,” Weld County Chair Perry Buck said. “Feedback on the plans will help county departments know what residents want from their local government.”

For more information about each project, and to take the surveys, visit Weld County’s Public Input webpage.
