White House
President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to increase access to high-quality, low-cost Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), and up to $1,000 in Federal matching contributions, to strengthen the financial security of American workers. The Order directs the Secretary of the Treasury to establish TrumpIRA.gov, a new Federal platform designed to connect American workers who do not have access to employer‑sponsored retirement plans.
Colorado Governor
Governor Jared Polis and FWD.us joined business leaders from across Colorado to discuss a new report that details how immigrants strengthen Colorado’s workforce and are driving economic growth across the state. “Hardworking and law-abiding immigrants make important contributions to our workforce, economy, and communities. I call on Congress to take meaningful action to solve our broken immigration system, so our economy and workforce can fully benefit from the skills, culture, and hard work immigrants bring to our state,” said Governor Polis.
Denver Mayor
Mayor Mike Johnston has announced an expanded vision for East Colfax that will include retail and workforce housing alongside a rebuilt Denver Police District 6 Station. The development is timed to take advantage of the new East Colfax Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line, which is expected to wrap construction along that section of Colfax this year. “Colfax has a little bit of everything, but if there’s one thing it could use more of its housing,” said Mayor Mike Johnston. “This project delivers affordability without sacrificing Colfax’s unique character, and with the BRT line in its final stages, will come just in time to enjoy one of the easiest commutes in the city.”
