DENVER ~ Today, Governor Jared Polis of Colorado issued an Executive Order to the Colorado Department of Natural Resources to develop a plan for continued operations and resource protection of the state's four national parks and other federal lands in the event of a federal government shutdown.
The Governor expressed his concern that a closure of the national parks and other federal lands would hurt state and local economies, small businesses, and park employees. He also noted that over 5.5 million people traveled to Colorado last year to visit the national parks, spending over $695 million.
Governor Polis urged the federal government to reach an agreement in order to avoid a shutdown, but he is taking action to ensure that Colorado's national parks remain open if it does occur. The Executive Order directs the Department of Natural Resources to work with Colorado Parks and Wildlife to develop a plan for continued operations and resource protection through a federal shutdown.

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs and Utah Governor Spencer Cox have also taken action to ensure that their respective states' national parks remain open through a potential shutdown. In 2018, Arizona Governor Ducey signed an Executive Order directing Arizona State Parks and Trails to recommend a plan for Grand Canyon National Park during a federal government shutdown; Governor Hobbs has said Arizona is prepared to use this order once again if necessary. Meanwhile, Utah Governor Cox has pledged resources to keep its national parks open in the event of a shutdown.
