Good morning, Boulder! It's Tuesday, and here's some news you can use.

Attention, financial planners and advisors — we're now offering sponsorship opportunities for local firms interested in building their client base in Boulder. Click here to learn more.

Here are the top stories today in Boulder:

  1. Town of Superior rolls back green building code. The town's City Council passed a Marshall Fire exemption building code on Monday, which they hope will help residents rebuild faster, and more affordably. The new code will allow residents to opt out of Superior's green code and roll back to 2018 codes. (FOX31)
  2. CU set to lift mask mandate as COVID-19 numbers decline. The University of Colorado Boulder campus will become mask optional. Here's when. (Patch)
  3. Hundreds of millions coming to Colorado from $26 billion opioid settlement. Colorado's share of the settlement is $384 million. The plan was announced last year but was contingent on participation from state and local governments. (CO Sun)
  4. Nosh, the restaurant-owned meal delivery service in Boulder, calls it quits. The city-subsidized alternative to big corporate food delivery apps suddenly went belly up this month, shocking local supporters. What happened? (Reporting Lab)
  5. Access to Silverton restored following weather-related highway closure. The town in southwest Colorado was inaccessible by road. CDOT closed Highway 550 north of Silverton on Tuesday night last week in part due to heavy snow and increased avalanche risk. (Out There)

From our sponsor:
Looking for a healthy alternative to that mid-week glass (or three) of wine? Our partners at Betera set out to create beverages that were sophisticated and flavorful enough to drink at cocktail hour but with zero hangover risk. (Their motto is "Drink like there's tomorrow.") Betera's drinks are designed by a Michelin-starred chef using natural botanicals — they're lightly effervescent, sippable, refreshingly bitter and at home in a stem glass or in a highball on the rocks.

Betera offers three recipes — Rhubarb-Hibiscus, Elderflower-Lime and Ginger-Orange. We've tried all three and loved them equally — we recommend the mixed case as a great place to start. Betera has extended their 15 percent discount on first orders to Daily readers, in appreciation for the enthusiastic response so far. Enter Patch15 at checkout and https://bit.ly/TryBetera.
