Westminster to open emergency cold‑weather shelter at the MAC starting tomorrow
Summary
City Manager announced the activation of the city’s emergency cold‑weather shelter at the MAC, opening noon tomorrow and running through noon Thursday if weather conditions warm. The shelter is intended to augment county services in extreme cold conditions.
The City Manager announced at the Feb. 10 Westminster City Council meeting that the city will activate an emergency cold‑weather shelter tomorrow at noon.
According to the city manager, the shelter will open at the MAC at noon and is planned to operate through noon Thursday, depending on weather conditions. The shelter program is intended to operate in extreme cold weather to augment services provided by Adams and Jefferson counties.
City Manager Andrews (as identified in the meeting) asked residents to familiarize themselves with sheltering programs in both counties and said the city encourages residents to use county services when available. The city will operate the MAC shelter while the extreme cold weather persists.
Why it matters: The activation aims to provide additional shelter capacity during a period of severe cold, offering short‑term protection for residents who cannot access other county services.
What’s next: The shelter will open at noon tomorrow; the city manager said staff would operate the site and coordinate with county resources.
