The Woodland Park community is gearing up for an exciting event as the newly remodeled Walmart Supercenter prepares for its grand reopening on Friday, June 20, at 9 AM. The celebration will include a ribbon-cutting ceremony featuring the president of the Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce, a mural unveiling, and recognition of store associates. Additionally, $8,000 in community grants will be presented during the event, highlighting Walmart's commitment to local support. Guests can also look forward to vendor demonstrations and product samples throughout the morning.

In other discussions during the City Council meeting, members expressed their enthusiasm for the upcoming Colorado Municipal League (CML) conference, where two local attorneys will present on telecommunications and housing issues. Council members emphasized the importance of community involvement, particularly in beautification efforts, and encouraged residents to participate in local initiatives.

The council also announced the cancellation of the July 3 meeting, with the next gathering scheduled for July 17.
