Energy Advisory Board
Energy Advisory Board
The April 2 Energy Advisory Board meeting has been canceled. Eagle, Garfield and Pitkin counties have issued a public health order to minimize the health impacts of COVID-19. Under this order, public health prohibits large gatherings and events of more than 50 people. Gatherings of less than 50 attendees are also prohibited unless measures are taken by event organizers to minimize risk.
The public health order is scheduled to be revisited on April 8, 2020. We will continue to monitor the situation and make public if the May 7 meeting will be held or if it will need to be canceled.
The Energy Advisory Board is a monthly forum for the public, oil and gas industry, landowners and local government to engage in positive and proactive communication, and actions that encourage responsible and balanced development of these resources within Garfield County.
