Who Are We Today? Rediscover Jeffco through LWV

Jefferson County has been described as a state within a state, largely due to its size and diversity, with seven cities, five towns and 17 unincorporated communities. And like a kaleidoscope, Jeffco is constantly changing. Some communities are becoming wealthier, others poorer. Population is growing in some and stagnating or shrinking in others. But overall, Jeffco’s population is burgeoning while funding for needed services is lagging. How will we address these complex needs?

The League of Women Voters of Jefferson County begins a four-part series in December to update Jeffco’s continually shifting demographics and their ramifications. An overview will be presented during the League’s six unit meetings Dec. 13-15, while future presentations will focus on aging, housing and education. All meetings are free and open to the public.

The League meets in the foothills at 9:15 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 13, at Highland Rescue Team Ambulance District, 317 S. Lookout Mountain Rd., Golden 80401. Call Robin at 303-674-1780 for information. An evening meeting also is available; call 303-972-4238.
