DENVER - Gov. Jared Polis ordered flags lowered to half-staff on all public buildings statewide for Thursday, February 18, from sunrise to sunset to honor the passing of former Colorado Representative Val Vigil.   

Rep. Vigil (D-Thorton) served four terms in the Colorado House from 1999 to 2006 and is known for his legacy of promoting higher education opportunities for students across Colorado. Rep. Vigil’s lasting impact on Colorado is his work to pass the ASSET Bill (SB13-033) which grants in-state tuition to undocumented students. 

Adams County, working with the Department of Local Affairs (DOLA), has been granted an extension for administering the Small Business Relief Grant Program. Applications will now be accepted until the program closes on Wednesday, March 17. Please visit the application portal for more information.
