Town of Lyons Featured in “Road to Resilience” Series

The Town of Lyons was featured in a short video by the Rockefeller Foundation, which focused on the Town’s need for affordable housing after the 2013 floods. The Foundation released a series of videos about five different communities that were eligible for the National Disaster Resilience Competition. Unfortunately, though Colorado made it to the second round, funding was ultimately not awarded to the state.
