Colorado Municipalities

Have questions about AI? Wondering how data centers fit into you your community’s strategic plan? Colorado Municipalities magazine has your back. The theme of our October 2026 issue is “AI & Technology in Municipal Government.” The magazine features articles on deploying AI tools in municipal government, AI in the workplace through the lens of the Simpsons, and Colorado state government’s ongoing data center debates. We’ve also got stories on municipal GIS, automated speed enforcement, and the art of in-person engagement — which, in our increasingly digital world, is more important than ever.

The work of a local government official can be a lot like a conversation. Sometimes you speak; sometimes you listen. The July issue of Colorado Municipalities is full of great ideas to hone your skills at both. Articles in our “Engagement & Communication” issue cover social media strategy, municipal podcasts, language access, digital engagement, and the importance of building relationships before times of crisis. The issue also features CML’s Annual Report and a recap of our Annual Conference — where we enjoyed countless productive conversations with our members!
