• DOLA has awarded $13.3 million of HB24-1313's $35 million transit fund (kimmonson.com) — Arvada is one of six home‑rule cities suing Colorado over a state housing law that ties grants and tax credits to building more homes near transit. The story details how $13.3 million in transit‑oriented grants have been awarded so far, what penalties were removed from the law, and how new executive orders may still pressure local governments on zoning decisions.
