General Town Info:

The Town of Kersey, Colorado is home to 1,478 people. We are located 8 miles east of Greeley on State Highway 34. The Town is responsible for water and sewer services. We also provide a library, senior center and recreation department. These departments have links on this Web site for more complete information.

The Town is governed by an elected Mayor and six elected Trustees. Elections are held in April of even numbered years. Board of Trustee meetings are the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m.

The Town has an active Planning and Zoning Commission. The Commission reviews all land use proposals and recommends to the Board of Trustees. The commission is made up of the Mayor, three Trustees and three citizens at large. The citizens at large are appointed by the Mayor. Planning Commission meetings are the first Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m.

The Town has a full-time police department headed by Chief Pat Carey. Chief Carey has three full-time sworn officers. The Kersey Police Department supplies 24 hour a day coverage through in service and on call status. The department is dedicated to supplying fair and non-biased service to the community. The department is involved in the “Community Policing” concept. The department does not have a designated school resource officer but does work very closely with the elementary, middle and high schools. You can reach the police department by calling 911 for EMERGENCIES ONLY. The non-emergency contact number is 970-304-6500. You may also contact the police department during regular business hours at the Town Hall.

Economic Development in Kersey ColoradoThe Town is looking forward to two subdivisions in the near future. The Berryman Farm Subdivision is currently under construction. This subdivision has both residential and mixed use commercial zoning in place. The Kohler Farm Subdivision is expected to be under construction early in 2004. This subdivision has both residential and industrial components. These two projects will increase our tax base and encourage future complementary development.
