most of them are pretty inefficient so they would not meet our current energy codes there's a massive
bring the entire building up to meet our current energy codes and we would also have to comply with current flood protection requirements
we're going to work with our office of arts and culture to see if we can extend the really successful mural project to this fence
we'll have to do just to patch back those walls will trigger our energy codes and our need to bring that building up
affordable housing is a key goal in the community and a high priority for this location the mix of housing types
regarding the potential for Boulder County to occupy some of the space at Alpine balsam
the council indicated the preference to that relocated facilities don't go in the East bookend of the Civic area
in order to utilize the iris complex for affordable housing that process is in its early stages but could be promising for more affordable housing along the corridor

that'll require you know a percent and a half sales tax you know and then we can do that
we've gone from about 15 to 20 percent waste diversion to just over 51% but we are really starting to recognize
it's a resilience solution it's a climate solution and it's a zero waste solution
we can as a city identified the materials that flow in and out of our region and identify what waste is created
how do we really become a zero waste Society and this slide here shows how successful
Boulder Valley School District Career and Technical Education is very interested in not only Co developing curriculum
the wastewater treatment plant has just commissioned a study to look at upgrading our digesters out there
