Mesa County released its 2026 State of the County video, highlighting the work and decisions shaping the community and the services residents rely on.

The county said in a May 27 news release that the address touches on some of the county’s biggest priorities and challenges, including transportation improvements, behavioral-health support, protection of western Colorado water and the impact of unfunded state mandates.

Commissioners discuss projects, including the 29 Road Interchange and Orchard Avenue improvements, and speak about broader issues affecting Mesa County’s future, including agriculture, economic development, growth and public services. The video also highlights Grand Valley Connects, a program that helps residents navigate services such as counseling, housing support and insurance enrollment.
