Preserving the Past and Protecting the Future: A Community Discussion - May 24 at 6:00 pm in William C. Russell Park
Once home to some of Colorado’s most productive mining sites, Central City has evolved to become a destination for historical and cultural opportunities, entertainment, and recreation. Mining will always remain part of Central City’s legacy, but discussions have arisen around the potential negative impacts that abandoned mining sites can have on residents’ health and the area’s natural
resources.
Central City, in partnership with Trout Unlimited, is interested in creating a comprehensive plan for addressing these abandoned mine sites in the future. We want to hear the stories, ideas, and opinions of community members as we begin this planning process and explore which areas might require our greatest
attention.
Please join us for a casual discussion as we work towards making Central City the healthiest and most resilient community it can be! Lauren Duncan will be giving a short presentation from 6:15-6:45 and will be available for the rest of the evening to answer questions and discuss the project. Visit the event page for more information.

CO Monitors
Each year over 430 people die and over 50,000 visit the hospital due to carbon monoxide emergencies. Approximately 3,500 people die in the US from fire each year. Gilpin County, Gilpin County Sheriff Office, Timberline Fire Protection District, Central City Fire, City of Central, and City of Black Hawk have partnered in an effort to reduce carbon monoxide and fire-related injuries and deaths. Thanks to a donation of CO monitors from Xcel Energy, we are able to give residences FREE CO monitors.
If you are in need of carbon monoxide or smoke detectors call 303-515-4339, leave a message with your needs, address, and phone number. You will be contacted by the appropriate agency to assist you.
