Mold Remediation in Greeley, CO

Weld County evaluates restaurants, schools, grocery stores and other facilities that handle food on a scale of three categories — pass, reinspection required and closed. As part of the county’s scoring index, officials evaluate facilities on factors such as cooling, reheating, cooking refrigeration and hot-holding equipment, cross-contamination between raw foods and ready-to-eat foods and employee hygiene, according to the county.

“Pass” — The establishment meets fundamental food safety standards. The establishment could have some priority, priority foundation or core violations. Some or all violations were corrected during inspection.

“Reinspection required” — Food safety violations were found and corrections may have been made, but the rating requires a reinspection to ensure basic food standards are met.

“Closed” — Significant unsanitary conditions or other imminent health hazards were found. The establishment has multiple priority, priority foundation or core violations representing high risk. Facility must cease operations until conditions and violations are corrected.

Establishments that scored a “closed” and marked with a * indicate that the facility later met requirements to reopen.

Nature lovers in Greeley have reason to celebrate, especially those in west Greeley, as rare wildlife may soon be found in their own backyards.

The city’s Culture, Parks and Recreation Department on Tuesday presented an update to the Greeley City Council on the acquisition of 978 acres of open space, the largest tract east of Interstate 25.

With grant support from Great Outdoors Colorado and in collaboration with the Trust for Public Lands, the city acquired what had been known as the ShurView property near Missile Site Park in northwest Greeley for $8.5 million in April 2022. The city had been attempting to purchase the property for 20 years.

Greeley put forth $5.5 million of the total cost using revenue from the city’s quality of life tax. The remaining balance came from Great Outdoors Colorado, Land and Water Conservation Fund, the town of Windsor and the North American Wetland Conservation Act fund.

After the open space was purchased, the Culture, Parks and Recreation Department got to work to set up the area as a hub for biodiversity, a wildlife habitat and a place for outdoor recreation.

The open space has a total of 91 different animal species and 168 different plant species, a few of which are very rare for this area of Colorado such as the American bumblebee and bald eagle. There is also a plant called the milkvetch that had not been seen in Weld County since 1833.

The Parks and Recreation Board selected the name “Arroyos del Sol” for the space after sorting through nearly 90 name suggestions that were received between the project start in 2022 and 2023. The name refers to the natural land features of the space, as well as the city’s Hispanic and Latino communities. The official naming will come at a later date after the board makes a formal recommendation to city council.

The city will develop the open space in phases over the next several years. The area will feature trailheads, bike trails and multimodal transportation connections. In total, the city expects the the project to cost somewhere between $22 million and $33.5 million, sourcing funding from private contributions as well as state and federal grant funding.

While the project and the vision presented to council has unanimous support, Councilwoman Deb Deboutez did raise a concern about the other nearby developments and proposed road expansions.

The land is composed of about 600 acres to the east of Colo. 257 and about 400 acres to its west, bordered to the north by the Poudre River. A portion of it has apparently blocked the continuation of 4th Street west toward the highway, and the space is also very close to land that Windsor’s Martin Lind has proposed to build an entertainment district that could include ice arenas, a water park, hotel and commercial development.

“I think there’s going to have to be some conversations,” City Manager Raymond C. Lee III said. “There may be some opportunity of swapping land, too.”

To do this, the city would try to incorporate land that might be owned by developers on adjacent plots so that the open space can maintain its size and projects can go off as intended.

“I think this project is going to come into question how we look at open space out west all together and how we incorporate that into development,” Lee said.

According to the plan, “700 acres of shortgrass prairie and arroyo habitat will be enhanced and protected as high quality habitat critical to declining species, including burrowing owls, ferruginous hawks, mountain plover, chestnut-collared longspur, and long-billed curlew.

“Arroyo habitat will be enhanced and protected as high-quality habitat and wildlife corridors for mammals, birds, and reptiles. Eleven acres of wetland and riparian floodplain will be enhanced and protected as high-quality habitat and wildlife corridor, contributing to the ecological health and resiliency of the region. More than 500 acres of black-tailed prairie dog habitat will be monitored and protected.”
