TOWN OF GYPSUM

What TOWN OF GYPSUM does

The Town of Gypsum is a municipal government entity located in Eagle County, Colorado, established in 1911. It administers traditional local government services — utilities (water, wastewater, trash, recycling), public safety, building permitting and licensing, planning and zoning, public works, and municipal court — to residents, businesses, and visitors within its jurisdictional boundaries. The town also operates an 18-hole municipal golf course, a recreation center, 17 public parks covering more than 96 acres, a shooting sports park, a motocross park, and pickleball courts, alongside a recurring community event calendar anchored by the annual Gypsum Daze festival.

Revenue derives from a diversified municipal base: property taxes, local sales tax, utility fees, licensing and permits (business, contractor, liquor, building), and federal/state grants. The most recent and material grant is inclusion in the U.S. Department of Transportation's Rural and Tribal Assistance (RTA) Program Round 2 (announced March 2026), which awarded more than $54 million nationally for rural transportation planning and project development. Pricing across the fee-based services (utility rates, permits, event tickets) is set annually and disclosed via the town's website; for example, Gypsum Daze concert tickets are priced at $25 early-bird or $35 regular, with children 12 and under admitted free.

The town's core technology surface is a municipal website built on the Streamline platform for Special Districts, which delivers online utility payments, permit applications, event registration, and public information. Headquarters are at 50 Lundgren Blvd, Gypsum, CO, with additional operational locations including the Lundgren Amphitheater, Gypsum Ponds, the Shooting Sports Park, and a PO Box mailing address. The town employs 11-50 staff across Town Hall, Community Development, Public Works & Utilities, and the golf course, with leadership including Town Manager Jeremy Rietmann, Utilities Director Mike Hoffman, and engineers assigned to the I-70 Eagle Airport Interchange Project. The most significant active strategic initiative is the I-70 Eagle Airport Interchange Project — reactivated in 2024 with a new Feasibility Study, estimated at $123.5M-$142.3M, and pursued in coordination with CDOT, FHWA, and Union Pacific Railroad.
