Ed, as a small MPO expecting an expanded urbanized area, our local governments are very interested in "when" the urbanized area boundaries will be designated.  Do you have a target date for Colorado on your radar screens yet?

Thanks for keeping us current on CTPP and Census matters.  We sincerely appreciate the updates.

 Today the Census Bureau published the criteria it plans on using to
describe urbanized area boundaries. There is a text version and PDF
online. The PDF version has some graphics that are not in the text.
Below is the URL for the PDF. I have also included the short URL to the
NARA site incase the long link doesn't work.  I am sure once we have had
a chance to wade through this there will be some discussion. By the way,
comments are due by April 27, 2001
