Mead Mayor Report-May
Responsible Growth: As we near the end of the 2025-26 school year, we will soon add Big Sky PK-8, a Saint Vrain Valley School District pre-kindergarten through eighth grade school that sits on a shared campus with Mead High School. The school will open to students this fall for the 2026-27 academic year. Mead Police School Resource Officers (SRO) have built an atmosphere of trust and accountability throughout our local schools, and plans are in the works for the Town to provide the new school with a fully trained SRO.
Reliable Infrastructure: Construction has begun on a roundabout at the intersection of Weld County Road (WCR) 32 and High Plains Boulevard (HPB). The Weld County Department of Public Works is managing the project, which will connect WCR 32 to HPB. When this roundabout is completed, crews will move to the intersection of WCR 34 and HPB to complete a second roundabout. By late fall, the project will be finished and the two-mile stretch of HPB will be open to the public.
Public Safety: Mead is eliminating traditional pet licenses and embracing DocuPet, a free, secure online platform that pet owners can access anytime. A pet’s profile is safely stored in one place and easy to update as things change. With 24/7 lost pet recovery support and improved tools for shelters, DocuPet helps reunite pets with families faster — giving our community a smarter, more reliable way to keep furry friends safe.
Fiscal Stability: Road work is scheduled to continue in May with reconstruction at the Grand View Estates and Mulligan Lake Estates neighborhoods. This work is part of our latest series of repairs, funded by the 1% Sales & Use Tax approved by voters in 2021. The Street Improvement Fund can only be used to maintain and improve Mead's roadways.
Connected Community: After a one-year hiatus, the 21st annual Mead Motorheads Memorial Day Car Show is set to return, bringing engines and excitement back to town. Hosted since 2004, this Memorial Day tradition will take place May 25 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Mead Town Park. The free event invites the community to enjoy classic cars, live music, local vendors and great food, celebrating both automotive history and small-town spirit.
