Here are the top stories today in Boulder:

  1. The Colorado Daily is no more. On Sept. 17, the parent company of the now defunct newspaper, Prairie Mountain Media, announced that they were calling it quits after a run of nearly 130 years of publishing the campus-focused newspaper. Personally, I'm a little bummed out reading this news. (CO Daily)
  2. Boulder County Coroner identifies victims in Saturday's midair crash. Three people were killed when two small airplanes collided midair near Longmont and then crashed. Those killed in the crash were: Henry Butler, 69; Samuel Fisher, 23 and Daniel Wilmoth, 22. (CO Sun)
  3. Colorado to receive $121 million for water projects. $121 million is on its way to the state from the federal infrastructure bill that will support and repair a variety of water infrastructure projects. The money provided by this bill will help deliver clean, safe and reliable drinking water to communities across the state. Additionally, funds will support vital waterway projects and projects to prevent flooding. (Out There)
  4. Metro Denver now has a hard boundary to the south. Castle Rock announces that it has no plans to expand its boundary to the south any further into Douglas County for development. (Local Today)
  5. Can geothermal electricity make a comeback? Some think so, including Gov. Jared Polis. Western governors are exploring how to expand the potentials of this 'underdeveloped' resource. (CO Newsline)
