Alexandria Simmons+FollowFort Collins-Loveland backs away from $2B dam planNorthern Colorado’s $2 billion dam project just hit a major snag—Fort Collins-Loveland Water District, the biggest planned customer, is stepping back after 21 years. The risk of unlimited costs and no guaranteed water delivery made the deal impossible for the district, which serves 60,000 people. Officials say the price tag keeps climbing, and the water quality concerns haven’t been addressed. With so much at stake for our region’s future water supply, do you think this project is still worth it? Or is it time to rethink how we secure water for our growing communities? #Business #Industry #ColoradoNews00Share

Michael Smith+FollowSpeeding Just Got Pricey in ColoradoHeads up if you drive through Longmont to Boulder—Colorado’s rolling out cameras that’ll fine you $75 for going just 10mph over the limit in a construction zone. No more warnings after the first few months! The goal? Fewer crashes and safer roads for everyone, especially workers. Meanwhile, Florida’s going even harder: drive 100mph and you could face $1,000 fines or even jail. Wild how strict these new rules are getting! #SpeedingFines #ColoradoNews #RoadSafety #Transportation00Share
Alexandria Simmons+FollowWhat’s Really in That Fracking Fluid?Here’s a wild one for your next coffee break: Colorado oil companies have been pumping millions of pounds of mystery chemicals underground, skipping the part where they’re supposed to tell us what’s in the mix—even though there’s a law for that. Chevron’s leading the pack in not sharing. Why care? If you live near a well, you might be breathing in stuff nobody can identify, which makes it tough for doctors to help if you get sick. Transparency, anyone? #MoneyLifehacks #ConsumerWatch #FrackingFacts #ColoradoNews #HealthMatters #Business02Share
