1500 Coalton Rd. Community Engagement Update
The Community Engagement process gathered people to share opinions and preferences on usage and design of the 1500 Coalton Road building. The Findings Report shows the results of the two open houses and the digital engagement. The Town Board and OZ Architecture will be reviewing and discussing these findings. The architect is now working on revisions based on the input they’ve received from the Board and the community. Currently, the Town Board is scheduled to view the revisions to the design and program usages from the architect at their February 10 meeting.

How to Participate
(including 17-year-olds)
Colorado will hold its first Presidential Primary Election in two decades on March 3, 2020 – Super Tuesday! Political parties still hold party caucuses in March (check your local party website) and Colorado will still have a primary for statewide and local candidates in June. But ballots for the stand-alone Presidential Primary are mailed to voters beginning February 10. Here is what you need to know to participate:
- Presidential primaries in Colorado are only held by the Democratic and Republican Parties. You must be registered as a Democrat, Republican, or Unaffiliated to participate.
- Registered Democrats will receive only the Democratic Party ballot. Registered Republicans will receive only the Republican Party ballot.
- Unaffiliated voters will be mailed both party ballots but can only vote and return one. Up until February 3, unaffiliated voters can also pre-designate their ballot preference, if they wish, by updating their voter registration. This will eliminate getting two ballots in the mail.
- February 3 is the deadline to switch party affiliation to vote in a different primary.
- ***NEW*** Voters who will turn 18-years-old by the General Election, Tuesday, November 3, 2020 – Can now VOTE in Primaries!
- There is no registration deadline. You can register and vote up to and including Election Day.
If you have a Colorado Driver’s License or State ID, you can register to vote or check your registration at www.GoVoteColorado.gov. If you do not have a license or state ID, you can register by mail (downloadable form online at govotecolorado.gov) or in-person at any Boulder County Clerk & Recorder’s office (Boulder, Longmont, Lafayette).
For more voter and election information, visit www.BoulderCountyVotes.org or call 303.413.7740.

During the month of December, Town of Superior residents and friends generously donated 603 pairs of socks as part of the metro Denver Sock It To Em Sock Campaign. This was the 5th year participating in the program and we appreciate everyone's continued generosity. Mayor Clint Folsom then delivered the socks to A Precious Child, a local charity organization that does amazing work in our community. They will be distributing the socks to individuals and families in need and we are pleased to be able to help with this important work.
