Dear Editor,

I’m writing to encourage the residents of Nederland to VOTE YES in the special election by July 30th. As a Town of Nederland resident with no children, I am 100% in support of this proposal.

One of the things I love most about Ned is that it’s a true community - a town of people of all ages, from all sorts of backgrounds, who know their neighbors (and their neighbors’ dogs) by name. And the reality is, we need to be intentional to preserve this community. Pressures from a growing Front Range population and increasing costs of living mean it’s up to us as a community to make decisions that help our town survive and thrive in the years to come. The proposed public/ nonprofit partnership with TEENS, Inc. to provide accessible, quality child care to our community - care that is desperately needed to support our town families and local economy - is not only a strategic move, it’s also the right thing to do.

VOTE YES in the special election.
