Berthoud's future starts with your voice!

Please Put Our Community First in Future Development

Dear Trustees, As a resident of Berthoud, I’m writing to urge you to protect the values that make our town special—its agricultural roots, small-town charm, and thoughtful pace of growth. New development should serve the people who live here, not just the interests of outside developers. I believe Berthoud deserves growth that strengthens our community, preserves open space, and respects our rural identity. Please advocate for better land-use decisions that reflect the long-term interests of residents—not short-term profits. I support policies that ensure new subdivisions contribute meaningfully to infrastructure, community life, and the environment. Thank you for your service and for listening to community voices like mine. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address or Neighborhood (optional)] [Your Phone or Email (optional)]

Planning for Growth That Reflects Berthoud’s Values

Dear Planning Commission Members, I’m reaching out as a concerned resident who cares deeply about the future of Berthoud. As you review development proposals, I ask that you prioritize projects that reflect our town’s character and serve the needs of residents—not just developers. Too often, we see subdivisions that erase farmland, strain infrastructure, and lack meaningful community integration. I urge you to recommend plans that protect open space, support walkability, and foster long-term resilience. We deserve growth that’s measured, thoughtful, and true to Berthoud’s identity as the Garden Spot of Colorado. Thank you for your time and consideration. Respectfully, [Your Name] [Your Address or Neighborhood (optional)] [Your Phone or Email (optional)]

Help Protect What Makes Berthoud Special

Hi [Friend’s Name], I wanted to share something important with you. Our town is changing fast. New developments are popping up that don’t always reflect what makes Berthoud such a great place to live—its open space, small-town feel, and deep agricultural roots. That’s why I’ve gotten involved with Better Berthoud. It’s a local effort to advocate for smart, community-focused growth that respects our town’s identity. We’re speaking up to ensure development decisions benefit residents, not just developers. If you care about protecting what makes Berthoud unique, I hope you’ll check it out and consider getting involved. You can learn more or join the mailing list at BetterBerthoud.org. Together, we can make a real difference—one voice, one neighbor at a time. Thanks for reading, [Your Name] [Optional: Your Neighborhood or a personal note]
