Big things are taking shape at the future home of Grand Junction's new Materials Recovery Facility (MRF). Crews are hard at work installing the sorting conveyors and equipment that will power the region's next generation of recycling.

Once complete, the MRF will sort recyclables like paper, cardboard, metals, plastics, and glass more efficiently than ever, boosting capacity for the City and haulers across the Western Slope. The facility is on track to open this winter.

Stay tuned for more updates as construction continues!

Nearly 70% of residents who participated in the City's 2026 Community Satisfaction Survey identified homelessness as a top community priority.

It's also one of our community's most complex issues, and no single organization can address it alone.

Our four-part series continues with a closer look at the community partners that receive City funding to help address homelessness and housing stability. The goal is to show how these partnerships work, where public dollars are invested, and the impact they're having in Grand Junction.

🎥 Episode 2 features The Joseph Center and the work they're doing to support individuals experiencing homelessness and connect them with resources and services.

Watch Episode 2 below.

The City of Grand Junction joined Colorado Mesa University and community partners this week to celebrate the groundbreaking of the new CMU Football Facility at Stocker Stadium, with Mayor Laurel Lutz sharing remarks on behalf of the City.

The project builds on a partnership that will bring an estimated $7 million in CMU-funded improvements to City-owned property while reducing ongoing costs to the City. CMU will also take on additional long-term operations and maintenance responsibilities and provide $300,000 annually to help cover operating costs currently paid by the City.

The project will enhance the overall Lincoln Park Sports Complex while preserving traditional uses of Stocker Stadium by District 51 and other community partners.

This partnership is an opportunity to invest in the future of Lincoln Park Sports Complex, make the most of an existing public asset and reduce ongoing costs to the City.
