Statement from the Teller County Board of Commissioners
October 1, 2025
To our valued residents,
As of this morning, the federal government has entered into a shutdown. While this national impasse may cause uncertainty, we assure you that Teller County remains committed to continuity, transparency, and service.
Local government operations—including public safety, road maintenance, health services, and administrative functions—will continue without interruption. We recognize that many in our community work in federal roles or rely on federal programs, and we are actively monitoring developments to assess potential impacts on our region.
We are in contact with state, federal, and congressional partners to advocate for the needs of Teller County and to ensure that essential services—such as access to public lands, veterans’ support, and social programs—are protected to the greatest extent possible.
We encourage residents to stay informed, support one another, and reach out to county offices if you have questions, concerns, or impacts we are unaware of. Teller County has weathered challenges before, and we will do so again—with resilience, unity, and a steadfast commitment to our community.
Respectfully,
The Teller County Board of Commissioners
