Bennett's Planning Manager Honored

The Town of Bennett is proud of our very own, Steve Hebert, for receiving a Distinguished Service Award at the DRCOG Annual Awards ceremony on October 4, 2023.

DRCOG acknowledged that Steve brought a wealth of experience when he arrived in Bennett, including transit-oriented development in Lone Tree and Greenwood Village, forming an intergovernmental agreement with the South Suburban Parks and Recreations Department and countless jurisdiction planning efforts with Community Matters Incorporated and Jefferson County.

The Town of Bennett is lucky to have Steve on our team and we appreciate all that he does for our community.

Prep Your Trees For Colder Weather

Keep your trees healthy and safe from the cold weather!

Wrapping trees when temperatures start getting cold protects them against sunscald and frost cracks.

Trees that should be wrapped are thin barked trees that are one to three years old. Examples of thin barked trees are Lindon, Maple, Crabapple, etc. Thick barked trees, such as bur oak, do not need to be wrapped.

When wrapping, start at the bottom of the tree and overlap by 1/3 of the wrap until you reach the first branch. You may use electrical tape at the top of the tree where the tree wrap ends.

Tip: The wrapping looks nicer if you do so with the writing on the inside!

Community Dinner Theater

Do times ever change? Is it ever easy to be a teenager? Join us for a fun night of dinner and community theater that will take you back to the 50s…but, also keep you in the present!
