The Northwest Colorado Business District in Hayden is launching a geothermal energy initiative to provide sustainable heating and cooling for its 117-acre project. By utilizing drilling techniques from the oil and gas industry, the project aims to create a reliable energy source that will support local businesses and reduce reliance on fossil fuels, especially as the town's coal plant prepares to close. With backing from state grants, this initiative is poised to enhance job opportunities and align with environmental goals while mitigating energy costs for businesses in the region.
