A Proclamation on National Preparedness Month: “During National Preparedness Month, we honor our first responders for their bravery in helping us respond to natural disasters, and we recommit to equipping Americans with the resources they need to overcome the climate crisis and bouts of extreme weather and emerge stronger, more resilient, and more secure.”
Colorado Governor
Governor Polis released the following statement: “We applaud the Biden-Harris administration for their commitment to getting projects built in Colorado, ranging from roads to rails. We especially appreciate all of their team’s work to help us make progress on priority investments like Front Range Passenger Rail. These kinds of things take leadership from all levels of government to get done. Actions like expanding the common sense use of categorical exclusion will cut red tape and help accelerate the delivery of important transit and rail projects in Colorado and reach our climate goals.”
