Happy spring Hayden! Or at least that's what we all wish we were saying to each other It seems like mother nature keeps throwing the “S” word at us just when things start to get sunny Speaking with a long-time resident while at the COOP gas pump I said, “Think it will stop snowing?” and he replied, “It snowed like this every winter when I was a kid.” With all the snow this winter, the Town has been focusing on the Hayden Center and improving our indoor programs while planning for our upcoming outdoor season.
We started the second - and final - phase of construction at the Hayden Center which should be completed by the end of 2023 The Town has secured the funding for the construction of a 6ft-wide pedestrian sidewalk along Hwy-40 on the east end of Town between Shelton Ln and Pine St , as well as between Mountain Valley Bank and Pine Estates on the North side of Hwy-40 The business park is moving along with construction starting in September
We also welcome our new Recreation Director, Rhonda Sweetser Ms Rhonda was the former principal of Hayden Elementary as well as an educator for 30 years. We are thrilled to have Rhonda join our team in this position.
As always, a sincere thank you to our entire community for being amazing people.

The Town of Hayden is in the process of reviewing our outdoor recreation amenities and economy alongside a student group from the University of Colorado, Masters of the Environment program as part of the modified Recreation Economies for Rural Communities program. As the Town explores ways to diversify and strengthen our economy, we recognize that the outdoor recreation sector is a possible area of focus that can also result in improved, increased and better accessible outdoor recreation opportunities for the community
We invite you to participate and share your ideas as we explore:
What type of outdoor recreation best suits the Hayden area and how can it be improved?
How do we make outdoor recreation more accessible to all our community members?
How can we leverage outdoor recreation to increase economic opportunities?

During the month of April (weather permitting), the Town’ s Public Works staff will be sweeping up scoria that remains on roadways throughout town Residents are encouraged to remove scoria from their property and from public right-ofways within their general vicinity Scoria can be swept onto the asphalt shoulder of the roadway for pick up via street sweeper Long thin lines of scoria are easier and more efficient for the sweeper to pick up instead of large round piles. Residents are asked to cooperate by not using this service for other spring-cleaning debris.
