Colorado § 24-32-801

• Jurisdiction: Colorado
• Title 24: Government
• Art.: Department of Local Affairs

Text

(1) Rapid growth experienced by many
communities in this state has caused many problems for local government and its
citizens in providing necessary public services and desirable living areas.

(2) Lack of growth and development, however, in the less densely populated
and rural areas of this state has caused another problem which adds to that of the
urban areas.

(3) Migration of people, and youth in particular, to the urban areas because
of lack of opportunity for employment and development of careers compounds the
problems of governments already pressed to meet the demands of current growth.

(4) It is the responsibility of the state to assist rural areas with financial and
technical assistance to provide economic opportunity and community amenities and
to promote the general welfare of the people of this state.
