Good morning, Greeley.

Local teams will join an Amazing Race on July 17 at Greeley Ice Haus from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.—the race starts at 5:30 p.m. and challenges teams to complete a one-mile route downtown to win a grand prize, with a $15 entry fee covering a drink ticket and dinner while Northern Colorado Young Professionals members join for free.

Colorado State Patrol reported a 20% drop in car thefts in the first six months of 2025 but said Kia and Hyundai vehicles remain the top targets — experts note that models with key ignitions are more likely to be stolen until newer software improvements take effect.

Police responded at 6:30 a.m. early Wednesday to a shooting at the Greeley University Inn (721 13th St.), took the victim with non-life-threatening injuries to a hospital, and continue to search for a suspect.

Car thefts in Colorado declined 25% since last year, but Kia and Hyundai vehicles remain prime targets—one in five cars stolen is one of these models, the agency said.

City staff presented a proposal on Tuesday that would form advisory committees for big projects like the Downtown Civic Campus and Catalyst so residents can have more input in city decisions.

If approved, each committee will meet every month to update the council on project progress — a change that may shape future city projects.

Colorado will soon add area code 748 because more phone numbers are needed—people with a 970 number may receive a new 748 number starting July 7.

Officials said rates, service rules and local calls remain unchanged for areas including Greeley.
