Events & Happenings

Local Minimum Wage Survey

The cities of Longmont, Boulder, Lafayette Louisville and the town of Erie are collectively exploring a potential increase in the local minimum wage in their respective communities above the Colorado state minimum wage. Local governments would like to hear directly from the community to better understand how much people are currently being paid, opinions about raising the minimum wage, and any positive and negative impacts that may come to individuals, businesses, and the community. Please share your thoughts in the online survey. For more information please visit the Boulder website or contact the City Manager’s Office at 303-651-8601.
