Correction, February 4, 2026 11:27 am: An earlier version of this story misstated the public comment process leading up to the Boulder County commissioners' Dec. 9, 2025 decision. There was no public comment during the Dec. 9 business meeting itself. Public comment occurred at a Dec. 4 meeting, and that input informed the Dec. 9 vote.

Clarification, November 26, 2025 1:59 pm: After publication, we adjusted a few phrases to avoid inadvertently implying that Boulder County food banks are not community-based organizations. They are. We also replaced the term “institutions” in one instance, referring to recipients of philanthropic grants, with “organizations” for the same reason. These changes did not alter the meaning of the story.

Correction, July 31, 2025 10:13 am: A previous version of this story said failure to appear in court for a automated photo enforcement ticket may result in an arrest warrant. That's because failure to appear in court is a separate violation and can result in an arrest warrant, as stated on the city's website. However, a city official later said: "In Boulder, failure to appear in court for a photo enforcement violation would not result in an arrest warrant."

Correction, July 8, 2025 9:42 pm: This story has been updated to clarify that unclaimed funds from 2024 do not roll over but remain available due to the program’s late rollout. The 2024 tax credit awards totaled about $718,000, not $500,000 as initially estimated. We also clarified that retroactive eligibility for 2024 purchases is part of the program’s design, not a corrective measure; that applicants can request a letter of eligibility before making purchases, though it does not guarantee a tax credit; and that outreach teams, not the state, are working to identify lending partners. We removed a quote describing the application process as “not competitive” to avoid confusion, as the process is non-competitive by design.

Correction, July 2, 2025 12:53 pm: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that Colorado mobile home park residents have a right of first refusal if their park is put up for sale. In fact, they have an opportunity to purchase, which requires the owner to notify residents and negotiate in good faith but does not obligate the owner to sell to them, even if they match another offer.
