WELD COUNTY TO HOST FREE COVID-19 DRIVE-THRU TESTING EVENTS WELD COUNTY, CO — The availability of COVID-19 testing in Weld County is increasing as Weld County Government will host free community drive-thru testing events in early June. The events, in combination with those led by health care providers and other public and private agencies throughout Weld County, are part of a goal to collectively test 10 percent of the county’s population by July 18.

The first four drive-thru events will be from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the following locations: June 1 in Fort Lupton at the Southeast County Services Complex, located at 2950 9th St. Registration is open from May 25 - May 31.

Calling Entrepreneurs We are announcing our Ice House Entrepreneur Development program for summer 2020.  As programming is completely virtual this year, we are able to extend an invite to anyone in Colorado who would like to participate! We are excited to extend this program to a new audience, those outside of the Denver metro area, during this unique time. There is more information and an application here:  https://www.coloradolendingsource.org/icehouse

Please Remember... As we begin to move towards re-opening of restaurants and other businesses. I would ask that you use good judgement and discretion with fire safety. While hanging temporary plastic and creating dividers for spacing or changing the layout of the floor plan may seem like a safe practice regarding COVID 19. You may be creating a unintended fire safety hazard or code violation. Please be aware of these matters and what may seem like a good idea may not turn out to be a such a good idea.   I would encourage you to contact Fire Marshal Tamlin regarding any changes you may be considering. Thanks.   Phil Tiffany | Fire Chief | Fort Lupton Fire Protection District 1121 Denver Ave. Fort Lupton, CO 80621 Office: 303-857-4603 | Fax: 303-857-6619 Website:  www.ftluptonfire.org

Country Turck and Auto has partnered with O'Reilly and Thermo Fluids to give free oil changes for our front line workers. If you know of anyone working in the medical field,  nursing homes, police or fire department. We want to assist and do a free oil change for them. We sterilize all the vehicles upon arrival and then after the oil change, we re-sterilize the vehicle and keys and fobs. Because we can not have waiters in our lobby, we will provide them a loaner or for local people, we can even do pick up and delivery at no charge.

Make History – Respond to the 2020 US Census Soon you can respond to the 2020 US Census, a once in every 10 years opportunity. Filling out the census form is important! ·         It determines how much money our towns, cities, and counties get from the federal government. ·         It calculates the number of members that Colorado has in the US Congress. ·         It is our constitutional opportunity.   In March you will be contacted by mail about filling out the census form. You can do so online, via your phone, through the mail, or face-to-face with a US Census employee. Thank you for doing so! Strict federal law guards your census responses. Visit  www.greeleygov.com/engage  for more details.
