"We are starting to make plans and prepare for any shifts we need to make for community needs. With a strong community and team, we'll be able to meet the needs of the most vulnerable in our community." -Human Services Director Katie McDougal during the April 15 Town Hall
Adams County is the second-fastest growing county in the Denver region with more than 520,000 residents. Unfortunately, the County’s resources to provide essential services have not kept up with demand. One area where this pressure exists is with the county’s detention center, a facility that is over 40 years old, is well past its intended lifecycle, and has significant deficiencies due to the years in service, changing operations and judicial requirements, as well as numerous expansions to address the growing population of Adams County.
Despite a long record of responsible budget management and good fiscal stewardship, current revenues and fiscal demands – coupled with anticipated continued demand on the existing facility – will make it challenging for the county to continue meeting the needs at this site.
Due to the passing of SB24-233, all improved commercial properties will be reduced by $30,000 and the assessment rate is 27.9%.

We hold ourselves accountable to empower marginalized communities in order to eliminate disparities for all residents, affording them the opportunity to thrive in Adams County.
