Colorado Department of Agriculture officials say they're excited to work with Gov. Jared Polis and legislative leaders from both parties to pass and implement the Colorado Recovery Plan.

The proposal also includes significant investments in rural broadband, small businesses, and education and childcare.

“The investments made in the Colorado Recovery Plan are essential to addressing immediate needs and building resilience across our agricultural sector and rural communities,” said Kate Greenberg, Colorado Commissioner of Agriculture. “The plan supports agricultural producers by expanding rural economic opportunities and market access, reducing energy costs, increasing supply chain resilience, and responding to devastating drought conditions over the past year.” 

The Colorado Recovery Plan was announced by Polis and legislative leadership of both parties on March 10.
