Water=Growth

by Amy Jewett Sampson

Colorado lawmakers passed a $221 million State Water Projects Bill during the 2026 Session.  Colorado continues to grow, and water scarcity is one of the biggest constraints on new development.

• What the State Water Projects Bill actually funds
• How water infrastructure impacts housing approvals
