The Honorable Michael Bennet
The Honorable John Hickenlooper
United States Senate
Washington, DC 20510
Dear Senator Bennet and Senator Hickenlooper:
On behalf of the City of Aspen, Pitkin County, and Eagle County in Colorado, we submit
this letter in support of the application of Community Office of Resource Efficiency
(CORE) for funding from Congressionally Directed Spending for fiscal year 2026.
CORE has a 30-year history of partnering with the City of Aspen, Pitkin County, and
Eagle County to reduce our region’s impact on climate change through the reduction of
GHGs from the built environment. In working with CORE, we have achieved success
but there is more work to be done.
To continue with this work, we must rapidly increase our energy efficiency and
electrification efforts and build the necessary green workforce competency and capacity
to do so. With CORE’s support, our region is poised to make transformative,
sustainable, and measurable change through our collaborative efforts to reduce
consumption, strengthen the renewable energy capacity, and ensure that the county’s
citizens can participate in and benefit from carbon-cutting efforts.
Sincerely,
Kelly McNicholas Kury, Chair
Pitkin County Board of Commissioners
