“HB 1282 is truly transformational. Its impact in rebuilding the state’s manufactured housing industry will be significant. Supporting the launch of new factories across the state will help counties like Summit build affordable and climate friendly housing quickly, which is so desperately needed,” said Tamara Pogue, Summit County Commissioner & County Representative to the Affordable Housing Transformational Task Force.
“The Innovative Housing Incentive Program created by HB22-1282 is an opportunity for Colorado to be a national leader in the development of affordable and energy efficient housing. The affordable manufactured housing created by this program, will be a welcome solution to the crisis we face at the local level of housing our workers and families. Energy efficient housing is also a critical climate mitigation solution. Many thanks to the sponsors and Governor Polis for this creative and smart approach for Colorado,” said Hilary Cooper, San Miguel County Commissioner.
"HB22-1301 changes the tax treatment of hydroponic equipment used to plant, grow, and harvest crops for human or livestock consumption in controlled environment farms. This bill is about equal justice under the law, as the same equipment, if used outside, would not be subject to business-personal property tax. HB 1301 helps give farmers another tool for innovating, by being able to grow produce year round, conserve water, and utilize the latest technology in Colorado's agricultural sector!,” said Rep. Matt Soper (R-Delta), sponsor of HB22-1301.
