Fifty-nine Adams County high school students were awarded scholarships totaling more than $1 million on Wednesday, May 22, through the Adams County Scholarship Fund. Adams County Commissioners introduced the Scholarship Fund in 2016 in partnership with the Colorado Department of Higher Education's Colorado Opportunity Scholarship Initiative.

The Willow Bay acquisition in Adams County was one of the recipients awarded a 2018 Starburst Award by the Colorado Lottery. The awards highlight creative work in Colorado that has a high economic and social impact from rural to urban and from plants to peaks.
