 Local Agency Resource HubThis hub is intended to provide Colorado local agencies with practical asphalt pavement resources, recent updates, funding information, pavement management tools, and specification references. Local Agency Trends for 2026 Colorado Business Economic Outlook 2026County Government: “... Rising costs, slowing economic growth, and limited revenue flexibility continue to squeeze county budgets in ways that are becoming difficult to manage. County revenues are not keeping pace with expenditures.” Municipal Government: “... Most municipalities feel the economy is about the same or worse than a year ago. Western Slope and Eastern Plains economies reported slightly better conditions. Top challenge: unfunded street and road maintenance.”  Local Agency Asphalt BriefThis monthly newsletter is designed specifically for Colorado cities, towns, and counties responsible for planning, funding, and delivering street and road programs. Each edition shares practical insights, specification updates, funding considerations, and lessons learned from peer agencies across the state. October 2026 Local Agency Asphalt Brief - Creative Strategies to Stretch Street Improvement BudgetsWhat Colorado contractors told CAPA about where street budgets lose value before any pavement is placed, presented with the Town of Parker at the APWA Colorado Annual Conference. This edition covers matching the treatment to the road (including what an extra half inch of lift buys in compaction and structure), the price of requirements that do not add performance, contracting and planning for production, decision authority in the field, and how Parker priced three work-hour scenarios on Hess Road. It closes with five questions to ask before your next bid. Read the October 2026 BriefPast Local Agency Briefs
