A
Welcome

news,
I'm
Ashley
prail,
the
city
announced
this
week
that
it
has
awarded
the
first
for
grants
to
participants
in
the
new
neighborhood
partnership
grant
program.
The
neighborhood
partnership
grant
program
was
started
in
July
and
includes
funding
opportunities
for
groups
of
residents
who
are
interested
in
implementing
projects
within
their
own
neighborhoods
to
build
a
sense
of
community.
It's.
B
B
Sort
of
starts
that
process
initially
I'm,
certainly
available
for
resource
and
conversation
and
to
work
through
issues
with
a
group,
and
you
know
really
just
celebrating
like
crazy
as
project
gets
going
and
taking
pictures
and
telling
the
story,
it's
just
a
really
exciting
opportunity
to
bring
people
together.
The.
A
First
round
of
approved
funding
totals
22
thousand
dollars,
and
the
city
is
currently
reviewing
additional
applications
for
a
second
round
of
funding
and
we'll
announce
recipients
before
the
end
of
the
year.
More

about
the
program

We

This

the
Small
Business
Saturday
canvas
reusable
bags
right
at
our
visitor
information
centre,
starting
at
ten
a.m.
A
In
city
of
Boulder,
parking
garages
is
always
free
on
Saturdays
and
Sundays
for
a
full
list
of
participating.
Businesses
visit,
downtown
Boulder,
holidays
com,
this
holiday
season
homes
and
businesses
across
Boulder
can
be
more
energy
efficient.
With
the
help
of
two
programs.
Energy,
smart
and
solar
benefits.
Colorado
are
both
offering
deals
through
December
that
could
make
your
energy
upgrades
more
affordable.
So.
D
Energy,
smart
is
a
Bullitt
County
service.
We
partner
with
the
city
of
Boulder
sweeten
the
deal
for
Bordeaux
County
residents.
It's
essentially
a
one-stop
shop
for
energy
efficiency
and
renewable
energy.
We
provide
a
energy
advisor
that
helps
folks
make
decisions,
find
contractors
get
rebates
right
now,
we've
got
a
few
specials
going
on.
We've
got
hundreds
of
our
energy
assessments.
Typically,
these
are
385
dollars
on
the
market
and
we
normally
offer
them
for
about
one
hundred.
D
Eighty
five
dollars
so
hundred
dollars
is
screaming
deal
on
top
of
that
we've
got
what
we're
calling
the
5050
LED
lighting
retrofit
pilot
folks,
who
go
ahead
and
choose
to
take
on
energy
assessment,
can
also
purchase
a
number
of
LEDs
that
will
go
ahead
and
install,
and
the
county
will
cover
fifty
percent
of
all
that
cost,
and
so
customers
can
essentially
get
LEDs
for
four
dollars,
a
bulb,
which
is
also
a
awesome
deal.
The.
A
D
The
solar
end
of
things
it's
looking
like
about
fifteen
percent
off
of
a
solar
installation
and
on
the
electric
vehicle
side
of
things,
looking
about
twenty
five
percent
off
of
MSRP
for
Nissan
Leaf.
Thus
far,
we've
had
over
190
people
buy
a
nissan
leaf
in
the
past
three
months,
which
is
incredible.
It's
three
times
what
Nissan
Leaf
did
last
year
and
then
on
the
solar
side
of
things.
D
We've
had
over
105
contract
sign
the
spark
waiting
to
over
half
a
megawatt
of
energy
being
installed,
so
solar
benefits
Colorado
was
slated
to
end
actually
at
the
end
of
October,
and
it
was
such
a
success
that
we
decided
to
extend
those
deadlines
for
solar,
the
sign
up
extension
and
the
end
of
november
on
the
30th
with
contracts
need
to
be
signed
by
the
fifth
of
december
and
then
for
the
electric
vehicles.
People
can
buy
one
all
the
way
up
till
december
31st

It's
important
for
boulder
residents
who
participate
in
the
voice,
insight
tag
program
to
renew
their
dogs,
tags
and
licenses
voice
insight
tags
which
allow
dogs
to
go
off
leash
on
City
trails,
expire
on
December,
31st,
all
blue.
E
Tags
or
current,
this
year's
tags
will
will
expire
on
December
31st,
but
there's
a
one
month,
grace
period
up
until
februari
first,
so
we
highly
encourage
guardians
renew
their
licenses
before
februari
first,
if
they
register
after
februari.
First
I'll
have
to
pay
the
full
registration
fee
with
instead
of
the
cheaper
renewal
fee.
One
thing
guardians
need
to
be
aware
of
is
that
they
will
need
to
provide
current
rabies
information
for
their
dogs
at
the
time
of
renewal.
