Thoughts and prayers for Moms

Local author publishes new book, with help of her sons

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A Commerce City author has turned her thoughts about raising her three sons into a top selling on Amazon.

Commerce City’s Andrea Lende published “A Mother’s Love,” this past Mother’s Day. e book is a collection of words of wisdom about motherhood and poems and prayers.

Lende is CEO of Beatitudes Publishing and Co-founder of Children’s Publishing Company: Bookworms Publishing. She has published ten books, two bestsellers, and seven Amazon number-one new releases since November 2020 and hosts a podcast on religion and spirituality called “Downloads From God”.

A Mother’s Love made the bestseller list on Amazon.

“Whether you’re a new mother or a seasoned pro, this collection will speak to your heart and encourage you to be the best mom you can be as you guide your children to their best selves,” Lende said. “So, take a moment to relax, re ect, and cherish the joys of motherhood as you read through each piece. Allow yourself to be immersed in the power of God’s love and blessings for your children.”

In addition to publishing “A Mother’s Love,” last week she published another book, the “Bible Doodle Journal,” that teaches how to creatively journal God’s message.

“Journaling the Bible has become one of the most signi cant activities I have ever undertaken and continue to pursue. I hope you enjoy reading

God’s Word, studying his Word, and journaling your way to understanding, wisdom, and joy in the Lord,” Lende said.

Lende said she and her sons decided to do a homemade Christmas this year.

“We grabbed all the birthday, graduation cards, written poems, and sayings from them and put them all into the Mothers Love book, “ she said.

e Bible Doodle Journal features Christian coloring pages on one side and a Bible journal on the other. It’s a place for people to write their journals and keep track of their spiritual

journey.

“ ey go through the Bible and keep track of the day and the Bible verses that stand out to them on a particular day. We all go through seasons, where di erent verses stand out to us a message they hear from God speaking to their heart,” Lende said.

She said the idea for the journal was inspired by her friend Billie Ortega, owner of Shades of Divine. e duo plan to teach a Bible journal class at Ortega’s store this summer.

“Billie had a lot of people come into the store asking how they journal

Colorado’s smaller cities and towns saw the greatest growth from 2020 to 2022, new U.S. Census Bureau estimates show, while the state’s largest cities and ski towns saw declining or stable populations. e changes come as Colorado’s population ages and people search for more a ordable housing, state demographer Elizabeth Garner said. Keenesburg, a Weld County town along Interstate 76 about 40 miles northeast of Denver, logged the most growth with a 65% population explosion over two years. at town grew to 2,080 in 2022 from 1,258 in 2020. In Elbert County, the population of Elizabeth rose from 1,717 to 2,285 from 2020 to 2022, a 33.1% increase. e census estimates released ursday are based on births, deaths, people moving in and out and the number of housing units, Garner said. So they aren’t based on survey data like the census taken every 10 years or the annual American Community Survey conducted by

Andrea Lende with several of her published books that she has written through the years.

Love, recognition and appreciation

Ma ny years ago, I remember hearing this question posed to a group of people going through some training, “How often should you tell your spouse that you love them?” Take a moment to consider what your response might be, and I will share the answer a little later in this column.

In speaking with a friend of mine who is a salesperson, he shared with me that he recently lost one of his best accounts. When I asked him what happened, he didn’t blame his company, the competition, the economy or anything else. He took full responsibility for not paying enough attention to them once the agreement was signed, he took the relationship for granted, never showing the customer how grateful he was that they trusted him with their business.

There is another story that I will share that came from a woman I know that I think we can all relate to. As she reflected on her relationship with her daughter, she said that she thought she was doing everything right when it came to raising her daughter, but like most of us parents who are far less than perfect, we miss things along the way. Her daughter grew distant and started making bad choices relative to the friends she was hanging around with. The woman said the one thing she could have done better is letting her daughter know just how much she loved her and appreciated her. Even though she did say those things, she felt like maybe it wasn’t enough.

Do you have your answers ready to the question of how often we should tell our spouses that we love them? The answer is this, before someone else does.

How often should we tell or show our customers how much we love and appreciate them? How often should we tell our children how much we love them and cherish them? How often should we let our friends know how much they mean to us? How often should we tell the people who report to us how grateful we are for all that they do? The answer of course to each one of these questions is, before someone else does.

LINDA SHAPLEY Publisher

A spouse who feels unloved will eventually turn to someone else for love. A customer who isn’t feeling the love from a company will bring their business elsewhere. A child who isn’t receiving love, recognition or time from us will be left to their own to decide where they can feel like they are wanted or where they belong. Even our closest friends will start to drift away if they feel ignored or feel like it is a one-sided friendship. And we know how hard it is to find great people to join our team, and how hard it is to retain top talent, we know that people usually don’t leave the company, they leave their leader or manager. Money isn’t the reason they leave either, it’s usually because they feel under appreciated.

I have asked the same question to many groups over the years when I was conducting sales training or leadership training, so I have heard many of the responses that may have been running through your mind as you considered your response, every day, three times a day, all the time, every

time you part company and every time you see each other again, morning noon and night, and many others. And these are all great answers, and when we can internalize the thought around, “Before someone else does,” we will more than likely increase our frequency for showing love and appreciation for those that matter most to us.

Are you making sure that the people around you are feeling loved and appreciated? Or was this a good reminder that even if we think we are saying it enough, we might be able to show it and say it a little bit more often? I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we can let others know how much we love them before anyone else does, it really will be a better than good life.

State school budget short, despite $9 billion package

BY JASON GONZALES CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Gov. Jared Polis this month signed into law Colorado’s school nance act, laying the path toward eliminating a state practice used since the Great Recession that holds back money from schools.

In the 2023-24 school year, the state will spend more than $9 billion on education and withhold $141 million from schools. Statewide, spending per student next year will increase to $10,614, $1,000 more per student than this year.

e school nance bill also will fund state-authorized charter schools at a level similar to other schools starting in 2023-24, adding more than $42 million for those schools. State-authorized charter schools don’t get a cut of locally raised tax dollars as district schools do.

Rural schools will get $30 million more to help with their higher costs related to smaller student popula-

tions. Colorado rural schools have gotten similar state aid since 2017.

Polis, surrounded by lawmakers, educators, and students at ornton Elementary School, also signed two bills on May 15 that will boost special education funding and provide statewide support for math instruction.

Together, the bills represent a signi cant investment in K-12 education statewide and a promise to fully meet the constitutionally set minimum for education spending by the 2024-25 school year.

Polis said the school nance bill means a stronger education system for Colorado, including better teacher pay, smaller class sizes, and more funding for the arts.

“We are catching up to where we should be for all public schools next year, and that’s very exciting news for Colorado kids,” he said during the bill signing.

Since 2009, lawmakers have diverted money that should go to K-12 schools to fund other pri-

orities, a practice known as the Budget Stabilization Factor. is year’s school nance law, however, aims to eliminate that practice by the next budget year. e state has withheld over $10 billion from schools since 2009.

e constitution requires Colorado to increase funding yearly by the rate of student population growth plus in ation. e state withholding, however, has meant schools haven’t gotten what’s required by its school nance formula.

State Sen. Rachel Zenzinger, an Arvada Democrat who chairs the Joint Budget Committee that helps craft the budget and school nance act, said the state will also meet its obligation to fully fund its share of special education.

e state will spend $40.2 million more next year on special education, increasing total spending to about $340 million, or a 13% increase.

Polis also signed a bill that will invest more in teaching math after

state and national tests showed students lost ground in that subject during the pandemic. e state will spend $25 million via three-year grants for after-school math tutoring programs that will be run by school districts, charter schools, and community groups.

e bill also will provide optional training for teachers and parents, o er evidence-based resources for math programs, and require teacher preparation programs to train prospective educators in math instruction.

Zenzinger said now that the state is on track to fully fund schools within the next budget cycle, she wants lawmakers to rethink what it costs to fully educate a student.

“It’s going to be really, really important that once we have established full funding, whether that is then adequate,” Zenzinger said.

June 18, 1937 - May 7, 2023

He married Marie on June 29, 1963, in Brighton, Colorado.

He worked at the Packaging Corporation for over 10 years while starting his family of four children before he changed his career. ey began a dairy farm east of Brighton, Colorado which continued until 2004. After choosing to sell his dairy, they moved to their farm in Fort Lupton where he pursued his love for farming and raising beef cattle up until the timing of his death. Between his family farm operation, raising beef cattle, his kids and grandkids, kept himself very busy.

George loves his family and family gatherings out at his farm! When his kids, grandkids and great grandkids are not around, he would always enjoy his true

passion being out in the elds farming or at a local farm auction. He proudly would say through their own dedication and hard work, they built the family farm from scratch.

George is a loving father survived by his sons David (Shelly) Sack of Brighton, Joseph (Carrie) Sack of Fort Lupton; daughter Regina (Cody Michel) of Fort Lupton; granddaughters Samantha (Ron), Elizebeth (Nate), Jennifer, Cadence; grandsons Dustin (Ti any), Christopher (Kortney), Tony (Melissa), Toby, Kenneth; great-granddaughters Kalye, Bailey, Kendall, Karmen, Shelby, Skylar, and Kylar; greatgrandson Cooper; brothers Leonard Sack, Robert (Linda) Sack, Don Sack, Leroy (Brenda) Sack; sisters Shirley (Stan) Elliot, Eileen Buckley, Carla (Tom) Morrissey and Diane Schissler.

He is preceded in death by his wife Marie, his parents Adam and Julia, his half-brother Adam Sack, brothers Edward, Bernard, and Richard and sister Betty Ann Hurley (Sack).

George is well known as a strong-willed person who is a devoted family man and a very hard worker. He is a man who has a big heart and always puts God and his family rst.

A short memorial service for brother and sister, Norman and Julia Nakamoto, will be held at Hillside Cemetery in Fort Lupton on Saturday, May 27, 2023 at 11:00 A.M.

Spring is in full swing, bringing many folks around Colorado out of the doldrums of winter with the promise of outdoor recreation.

For folks who aren’t fans of “traditional sports” — think baseball, basketball, football, soccer — there are plenty of unique, exciting alternatives throughout the Centennial State. From roller skating to parkour, there is no shortage of variety in Colorado’s recreation options.

Roller skating, roller hockey and roller derby

Roller sports are alive and well in Colorado. Folks have quite a few options for activities revolving around wheeled feet; from roller skating to roller hockey to roller derby, there is no shortage of options.

Roller skating lovers have a plethora of skate

parks in the metro area and can get all of their gear — and some lessons — from the newlyopened Denver Skates Shop in Arvada. e store provides ttings and skating lessons for folks ranging from novices to experienced park skaters.

Brina Wyss, a sales associate and coach at Denver Skates Shop, said that roller sports experienced a surge in popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic that’s since died down, but has nonetheless roughly doubled the community’s size.

“I think there was a big surge in interest in wheels and skating during the pandemic, but it was a trend” Wyss said. “I people had a lot of spare time and were looking for something active to do. e community has de nitely grown at least twice as much during the pandemic.”

Wyss participates in roller derby, which is played at the professional and recreational level

‘A lot of people do (skating)

for joy and exercise. I do it as a way to escape, and it’s also a great way of community meeting.’

Brina Wyss, a sales associate and coach at Denver Skates Shop SEE UNIQUE, P9

in Colorado. Wyss said the competitive nature and team atmosphere of roller derby came to be a replacement for volleyball, which she played competitively growing up.

“A lot of people do (skating) for joy and exercise,” Wyss said. “I do it as a way to escape, and it’s also a great way of community meeting.”

Denver Roller Derby operates a large number of recreational and traveling teams and has opportunities for new players.

Folks looking for a non-contact alternative to ice hockey might nd roller hockey appealing — Skate City operates rinks in Arvada, Westminster and Littleton that o er roller skating and hockey, while Rocky Mountain Roller Hockey operates youth and adult leagues out of the Foothills Fieldhouse in Lakewood, and the Parker Fieldhouse also hosts youth and adult roller hockey.

Ultimate frisbee/ disc golf

Frisbee sports have come into favor in Colorado recently — a semiprofessional ultimate frisbee team kicked o their inaugural season in Golden this month — with two main ways to play.

Ultimate frisbee resembles American football in that teams

must complete passes in an end zone to score points. As the name suggests, disc golf resembles “traditional” golf, but is played with a disk instead of a ball.

e Denver Summer Ultimate League is the oldest ultimate frisbee competition in the state, and just nished registration for its 2023 season.

Disc golf fans may nd more frequent playing options. In Arvada, the Johnny Roberts Disc Golf

Course and Birds Nest Disc Golf Course both operate at city parks.

Colorado Christian University operates a disc golf course in Lakewood, and Foothills Parks and Recreation operates the Fehringer Ranch Disc Golf Course in Morrison. For those looking for a more secluded experience, the Wondervu Disc Golf Course in Golden is considered to be one of the most scenic — and challenging — courses around.

Parkour

According to gym owner Lorin Ball, the de nition of parkour is simple: “Using environment to get from point A to point B in the most e cient way possible.”

Ball is the owner of Flow Vault, a parkour and ninja warrior — yes, American Ninja Warrior — training gym in ornton. Flow Vault opened in 2008 and o ers classes to people ages 5 and up. His gym has even graduated some ninja warriors to the popular NBC show.

“It’s a full curriculum, similar to that of gymnastics, where you have di erent levels of progressions,” Ball said. “We’re training people to be more intentional with their movement and apply that to other sports or physical activities that they do.”

Other parkour gyms in the area include APEX Denver, Path Movement in Littleton and Ninja Intensity in Parker.

Aerial Adventures

Finally, Colorado has no shortage of arial adventure options. Ropes courses and adventure parks are plentiful in the Centennial State and are often and family-friendly way to recreate uniquely.

e Colorado Adventure Center is based in Idaho Springs,   e EDGE Ziplines and Adventures is in Castle Rock, and the Treehouse Adventure Park is based in Bailey.

Marissa Gray Holy Family High School

Tell us a little bit about yourself

My name is Marissa Gray, and I am a senior at Holy Family High School. During my time at Holy Family, I was a cheerleader for three years and an active NHS member. I curated articles for the HF Lamppost, and a poem that I wrote was featured in the school’s literary magazine my junior year. During my senior year, I was a member of the yearbook sta that produced an amazing nal product. After high school, I will attend Texas A&M University to study English. Later, I hope to attend law school.

What is the most enduring memory from your high school career?

My most memorable moment from high

school is the 2022 state cheerleading competition. e support from my team, friends, and community was astounding. I will never forget winning second place and how hard the team worked to get there.

Talk about your role in society going forward. What issues do feel drawn to address postgraduation and how do you plan to do that?

Post graduation, I plan to participate in a Badminton club and potentially some form of gardening club/beekeeping at Rochester Institute of Technology.

What is the most enduring memory from your high school career?

One of the most endearing memories I have from high school occurred in my senior year. November 1st was the early decision deadline for my top college and I was extremely stressed trying to wrap up art pieces for my portfolio. With this in mind, my counselor excused me for the entire day to work. My counselor (Mrs. Neumann) allowed me to completely rearrange her o ce to set up a mini-artand-still-life studio. She even asked my former AP Biology teacher if I could borrow some bones to draw. Her actions were extremely endearing.

e most enduring memory from my high school career actually just happened. My prom was on Saturday, May 6 and during one my favorite songs, my friends and I made a little dance circle and swayed to the song. Not only is it one of my favorites, but we all love it and I started to tear up a bit. As a senior, prom is the last school function before all of the graduation activities.

We made our last season the best, and I am so lucky to have been a part of the incredible community built over the last four years.

and how do you plan to do that?

Being a Latina in STEM, I seek to improve my professional environment. Having similar people in the driver’s seat of innovation leads to narrow solutions incompatible with broad populations. Although a complicated issue, I believe that making STEM careers seem more appealing and feasible to all demographics will increase representation. e odds can be stacked against minority students with a lack of tools or discouragement by stereotypes. I hope to show underrepresented kids that their capabilities are limitless no matter what they have been told, so I will continue active mentorship with school/local organizations as a direct way to contribute.

Where do you see yourself in 20 years?

After eight weeks of a summer engineering internship at FormFactor in Boulder, I worked on a cryostat, learned SolidWorks CAD software and the basics of programming.

Colorado o ers millions to help truck and car fleets plug in

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado regulators have wielded plenty of sticks in recent years while mandating the changeover of fossil fuel use in the state to clean-generated electricity. Clean cars, clean trucks, clean stoves and furnaces, clean power stations — the rules are stacking up in bundles.

But state o cials say they have plenty of carrots in stock, too. And they’re adding another, calling it Fleet ZERO, and dangling $7 million in the rst year with millions more to come.

Fleet ZERO o ers grants for building fast charging stations to local governments or private businesses that run large groups of light-, medium- or heavy-duty electric vehicles.

e government has done its job requiring manufacturers to produce increasing percentages of clean electric vehicles of all sizes, state regulators say, and now Colorado must ease the change with grants for charging and other support systems.

e transportation sector is the leading contributor of greenhouse gas emissions and the building blocks of local ozone pollution, said Matt Lerman, infrastructure program manager at the Colorado Energy O ce, which is funneling many federal and state grants for electri cation. Moreover, truck and service eets are often located in or spend their day driving through disproportionately impacted communities, so the eet changeover is a key to environmental justice mandates, Lerman said.

“Infrastructure is a foundation for that change,” he said.

e $7 million rst-year fund is part of $310 million in electri cation funding available through the Colorado Energy O ce and other state agencies in coming years. e budget is also committed to tax credits for new and used electric vehicle purchases, e-bike support programs, home electri cation by replacing gas appliances with induction ranges and heat pumps, and more.

Helping eets transition to clean fuel faster will “protect the environment and signi cantly improve air quality in some of Colorado’s most polluted communities,” said Will Toor, executive director of the energy o ce.

Medium- and heavy-duty trucks are only 10% of vehicles on Colorado’s roads, but contribute 22% of transportation greenhouse gases, 30% of the nitrogen oxides that build into ozone, and 40% of particulate matter, another EPA-controlled pollutant. Colorado still generates a signi cant portion of its electric-

ity through coal, but that percentage is declining fast and coal will be gone from the system by 2031.

Colorado has a goal of nearly 1 million electric light-duty cars, SUVs and pickups on state roads by 2030. e Air Quality Control Commission recently passed rules requiring manufacturers of medium- and heavy-duty work vehicles to produce a gradually increasing percentage of clean-fuel engines beginning with the 2027 model year.

e Fleet ZERO (short for ZeroEmission Resource Opportunity) grants can cover up to 80% of the cost of projects, ranging from installing eet charging stations to upgrading local electrical transformers and other transmission equipment. Disadvantaged businesses or neighborhoods can see up to 90% grant nancing for their projects.

Initial projects will focus on eets and businesses with vehicles traveling up to 150 miles a day and returning to a “base” for nine to 10 hours of overnight charging between shifts. Later grants will help expand public charging access for working vehicles that use interstates or other heavily traveled corridors, Lerman said.

Grant recipients agree to share charging data on a network, which allows the state to see which funding ideas are the most e cient and how charging patterns develop as more electric vehicles join eets.

e state grants can be combined with utility and local grants for electric infrastructure, Lerman said. e current round of grant applications is open through June 30.

through the Bible. I have been journaling through the Bible for up to 14 years,” Lende said. “As I was talking to Billie, she said the holy spirit beckons to her heart when she’s drawing, creative, coloring, and doodling.”

Lende said a journal passage is about nding peace in a chaotic time of her life. A journal is a place for people to write their gratitude for the day because gratitude is so important.

“It’s mindful to write those things down when things get tough for us. But when we intentionally write down things, we’re grateful in our hearts and it turns into thankfulness,” Lende said.

Friendly skies

Lende grew up in North Dakota and then moved to Brighton in her

mid-20s with her husband, a pilot. She and her husband bought a small plane for recreational ying when she was 25

“As it turns out, I fell in love with ying my rst ight up in the sky,” Lende said.

Lende trained and received her certi cation as a private instrument, commercial multi-engine ight instructor. She was also a commercial pilot teaching, people how to y until she got sick with Lupus.

“God redirects our lives in interesting ways, and at 30, my body broke, I was diagnosed with lupus, and I did heal from it,” Lende said. “I cured myself naturally. It wasn’t necessarily popular 30 years ago, but I found a naturopath and worked with a medical doctor.”

Lende’s experience with Lupus leads her to write a book “Life After Lupus”. She was able to have children at 35 and raised three boys.

“By the time I was 39, I had three

kids under age three. I was a stayat-home mom who schooled them at home for many years and got into God’s Word writing devotions, prayers, journals, andBible reading plans,” Lende said.

A couple of Lende boys went to Landmark Academy for a while then all attended Eagle Ridge Academy in Commerce City.

“After the kids left home, I started writing and reading the Bible repeatedly, which led to another book of mine on how to read the Bible in a year,” Lende said.

Lende said she journaled her way through the Bible repeatedly, starting to write prayers and devotions and penning more than 1000 devotions and prayers, leading her to write more books.

“It was a slow process working on my books after her kids left. It was like pulling a rubber band back for ten years, then letting it go, then developing books about God put into my

heart to publish,” Lende said.

Lende said she is publishing online exclusively with Amazon and is thankful for the platform that allows writers like herself to get their work out there.

“I’ve met a number of women who have spent an incredible amount of money publishing,” Lende said. “ ey are called vanity publishers where they spend their money to get published.”

Lende said God led her heart to start helping women to publish for a lot less, so she began the Beatitudes publishing company assisting women in publishing their work.

the U.S. Census Bureau.

Previous estimates showed the state’s total population in 2022 at just over 5.8 million people, up about 1% since 2020.

Of the top 15 cities and towns for growth between 2020 and 2022 most were under 10,000 population.

Six of the top 16 were all or partially in Weld County, with most of the top-growth towns north or east of the Denver metro area.

“ e area is ripe,” Garner said of the growth in so many small towns. “If you go out (I-76) east, you’re going to see the same thing, like in Wiggins. You’re going to see it east and north, because that’s areas where we have the most available land.”

Keenesburg saw signi cant growth after developers constructed hundreds of new homes in the small town in recent years. e project was expected to take about four years to complete. e homes were nished and sold in about 18 months, interim Town Manager Roger Tinklenberg said.

“Obviously there was pent-up demand in the area,” he said.  New residents say they moved to the area to get out of the big cities while still being able to commute to the Denver region for work, Tinklenberg said. Homes are also much more a ordable with a median home price about $100,000

cheaper than in Denver, according to Zillow.

e town is set to develop further with up to 10,000 more homes possible over the next 30 years.

Still, Tinklenberg says there hasn’t been any talk of changing the town’s motto: “Home of 500 happy people and a few soreheads.”

Some of those happy people (and maybe even the soreheads) are welcoming the growth, even if they don’t want to see it become anything close to a metropolitan area.

Brian Anderson, the director of school for a local commercial driver’s license school, said he’s hoping to see the town expand in a sustainable way.

“It’s going to impact infrastructure. … But at the same time, I think it’s going to bring some of the bene ts of growth, which could be more activities for the kids, maybe a rec center,” he said. “If the town doesn’t grow, it’s gonna get swallowed by the surrounding towns.”

e town of Timnath, which is just southeast of Fort Collins along I-25, saw the second highest growth, up 40%. at’s an increase of about 2,600 people.

“Northern Colorado just really is a very desirable place,” Timnath Town Manager Aaron Adams said. “I think that there’s a lot of things that are appealing to folks when they see those options, the options of new construction, new builds, a desirable school district, and then a town that they perceive to be well run and o ering a lot of things to draw them in.”

Adams said the town, which draws shoppers from throughout the region for its retail (including the area’s only Costco), works to maintain a “small-town feel” by consistently hosting local events.

Over the next 15 to 20 years, Adams expects the town to reach its maximum capacity of about 35,000 residents, he said.

Castle Pines, 10th on the list, is one of the only two municipalities in the top 10 with more than 10,000 residents. Between 2020 and 2022, the city grew about 20% to 13,486 from 11,215.

City Manager Michael Penny told e Colorado Sun much of that expansion came from development agreements made in the 2010s that just recently came to fruition.

“I’m not surprised. I think it was intentional by the council,” Penny said. “ ere’s probably ex-council members that are thinking, ‘Finally, why’d it take so long?’”

Still, the city sees its growth as having stagnated recently.

“I think that (growth) would have continued except for the economic worldwide issues that are out there and I think it’ll pick up again once that all gets gured out,” Penny said.

Several mountain towns, including Vail and Aspen, were among the biggest population losers between 2020 and 2022.

OF ADAMS Division D1 No. 22JV30061 THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF COLORADO

About 75 municipalities saw less than 1% change in their population, including ornton, Steamboat Springs, Golden, Crested Butte, Englewood, Lakewood and Pueblo.

And the state’s largest population centers are also seeing slower growth, with the exception of Castle Rock in Douglas County, which grew 8.5% between 2020 and 2022. Denver, the state’s largest city, saw a slight population dip, while Colorado Springs, the second largest city, saw a 1.2% gain. Boulder saw the largest drop among the largest 15 cities, losing 2.4% of its population.

“Colorado is slowing down in terms of growth,” Garner said. “Colorado is in the middle of a pretty big transition, especially with the aging.”

Rising housing prices and that aging population likely mean more population changes ahead for the state.

“It’s going to be harder for Colorado to attract and retain the best and the brightest and we’ve never had that struggle before,” Garner said. “If a place is going to be ghting for you that has lower housing costs, you’re going to go there.”
