Hilltoppers,

I know a lot of you are hearing about Colorado’s plans to ease the stay-at-home order, which is set to expire this Sunday. Any move to begin the return to normalcy is certainly good news, but we need to remain realistic with our expectations. Neither the State, nor Mesa County, has released finalized specifics at this time. What is clear is that the easing of restrictions will be a phased approach implemented over time, with a continued need to wear masks and limit interactions through social distancing.

The Hilltop leadership team will continue to monitor developments and we are currently evaluating the most appropriate way for Hilltop to move forward.  Once these plans are finalized, I will share them with you in future updates. For now, the measures we’ve put into place are working and I don’t expect any major changes at Hilltop over the next week. Thanks to all of you, our residents remain safe and healthy, services are being provided to those who need them, and Hilltop remains an important resource for our community.

Together, we’ve got this,

Mike
