Saguache County is seeking individuals or businesses that would like to be added to our resource list to assist Saguache County citizens in need with junk removal on their property.

As announced in November 2024, the Saguache County Land Use office was awarded the Sustainable Code Challenge grant from the Rocky Mountain Land Use Institute, courtesy of the Gates Family Foundation. We were one of two jurisdictions to receive this opportunity, and we are now at the end of our journey with this award. We would like to express our deepest appreciation to Chris Duerksen and Jonathan Rosenbloom for their hard work and dedication to conducting their report in a timely manner. Their knowledge and experience were invaluable assets, and we hope that they will be satisfied with our end result once we complete the draft of the 1041 Regulations for Large Solar Development.

With the grant now complete and the majority of work has concluded for Mr. Duerksen and Mr. Rosenbloom, we are utilizing their findings to develop our 1041 Regulations for Large Solar Development. We will work diligently to ensure these regulations are tailored to fit Saguache County. Upon completion of the draft, the Commissioners will conduct a public hearing so please monitor the Saguache County website for updates to stay informed. Should you have inquiries, please contact Amber Wilson, Saguache County Land Use Administrator, at atorrez@saguachecounty-co.gov or 719-655-2321.
