City of Colorado Springs administrative and elected administrative offices and agencies will be closed on Monday, June 19 for Juneteenth.

The city’s new mayor has said one of his priorities is to be transparent and provide frequent updates. He’s back to talk about his first few days in office, his focus and his plan to keep residents informed.

The City of Colorado Springs Community Development Division has awarded more than $340,000 in grants to nine Colorado Springs nonprofit organizations through two programs aimed at assisting low- to moderate-income individuals and families. The City receives these funds by formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Colorado Springs Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services (PRCS) and the United States Forest Service (USFS) announced that the Palmer Red Rock Trail, also known as the Section 16 Trail or the National Forest System Trail 775, is now reopened to the public. The trail connection has been closed since the significant rockslide and destruction of a trail bridge in May of 2022.
