Looking Back at Accomplishments, Forward in the New Year
Happy New Year Larimer County! As we start the new year, we reflect on the past year while looking forward to the possibilities to come in 2024. In January we also celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s extraordinary legacy, an opportunity to reflect on the value of building belonging in our communities. In Larimer County, we continue to address the injustices he fought against decades ago. Honoring Dr. King’s memory means striving for hope, healing, human dignity, justice, equity, belonging, and service within our community. Dr. King envisioned a nation of equality and dedicated his life to social justice and economic opportunities for all. To honor his legacy, I spent MLK Day along with my other two commissioners in service to our county, treating it as a day “on” rather than a day off.
