Boulder's award-winning community newsletter is a print newsletter that is mailed to homes in Boulder throughout the year. This is one of many ways we work to keep our community informed about projects and plans in a clear, accessible and compelling fashion.
In addition to the printed publication, we produce an interactive digital version, as well as an accessible, screen-reader friendly PDF.
