everyone. Garfield County is one of the largest counties in Colorado, incorporating nearly 3,000 square miles on the western boundary of the state. The county has more than doubled in population since 1985 and is projected to double in size again by 2040.
With this continual population increase and growth pressure comes many transitions within each of the six incorporated communities, as well as changes seen at a countywide level. recblid zr0mja1mcqvobxw77ahhpw102vh2ka PDN-9ad7d8bc-f478-473e-b80a-762acdbfc86b
