Governor Polis Unveils New Housing In Castle Rock, Celebrates Women in the Trades Who Strengthen Colorado’s Economy

Trending...
~ Governor Polis of Colorado has unveiled 200 new homes for hardworking Coloradans at the Meadowmark community in Castle Rock. This announcement comes after the governor signed legislation last year to create more transit-oriented communities, eliminate discriminatory occupancy limits, and get rid of costly parking restrictions. These efforts have been successful in breaking down government barriers to new housing and bringing more affordable homes to communities across the state.

During the grand opening of the new homes, Governor Polis stated, "Each grand opening of new homes proves that by removing unnecessary government barriers, the market is responding to the deep need for more housing Coloradans can afford across the state." He also expressed his excitement for continuing this progress and providing more housing options for Coloradans and their families.

Building on last year's success, Governor Polis is now supporting legislation to further break down barriers for modular housing and allow communities to build more single-stair buildings. These changes are expected to save Coloradans money on housing and support the construction of more affordable condos. Additionally, the governor is advocating for schools and churches to use their land to build more homes for Coloradans.

In addition to his focus on affordable housing, Governor Polis also attended the Emily Griffith Women in the Trades Celebration. This event highlighted Colorado's emphasis on creating pathways to opportunity for everyone, including women in trades. The governor stated, "Today's celebration confirms that in Colorado, the trades are for everyone." He emphasized his commitment to connecting all Coloradans with skills needed for good-paying jobs and strengthening the state's workforce and economy.

Earlier this month, Governor Polis signed bipartisan legislation that will create a new Associate of Applied Science degree at Emily Griffith Technical College. This will provide students from all backgrounds with opportunities to participate in apprenticeships in fields such as HVAC, plumbing, and electrical work.

Overall, Governor Polis' efforts towards breaking down government barriers and creating opportunities for affordable housing and workforce development are making a positive impact on the state of Colorado. With the unveiling of 200 new homes and continued support for legislation, it is clear that the governor is dedicated to improving the lives of Coloradans.
