📰 News we're reading

• Solar farm gets green light—but 41 conditions could slow progress (berthoudsurveyor.com) — A proposed 28-acre solar farm just northeast of town can’t move forward until it clears 41 county conditions and an annexation agreement involving Berthoud, which could shape the look of the Highway 287 entrance. County planners, the town and neighbors are now wrestling over landscaping, noise, traffic and long-term annexation commitments that could influence how Berthoud grows northward.
   

• Berthoud's John-of-all-trades: soldier, homesteader and mayor (berthoudsurveyor.com) — Berthoud’s early growth owes a lot to Civil War veteran John Calvin Shull, who became a homesteader, hotelier, theater builder, postmaster and even mayor here. From opening one of the town’s first livery stables to constructing the Moon Theatre and running the Grand View Hotel, his many roles helped shape downtown Berthoud into the community residents know today.
