Jody Shadduck McNally (D), County Commissioner – District 1, spoke at the grand opening of the Loveland Youth Campus. The Larimer County Board of County Commissioners allocated a portion of ARPA funding to the purchase of The Loveland Youth Campus building, over a million dollars.

The new campus stands as an innovative solution to Larimer County’s shortage of affordable childcare, bringing together essential organizations and resources for families under one roof.
