Delta County Secures Grant Funding for Probation Consolidation and Modernization Project
Delta County has secured grant funding for its Probation Consolidation and Modernization Project, allowing the County to move forward with long-needed improvements to probation facilities that support public safety and access to justice.
The project includes $335,000 in grant funding from the Colorado Judicial Department’s Underfunded Courthouse Facility Cash Fund, combined with $80,000 in local funds committed by Delta County. Together, these funds will be used to renovate a county-owned building at 215 W. 5th Street, known as the “Blue Roof Building,” and create a centralized probation facility within the justice complex.

Delta County Commissioners Adopt 2026 Budget
The Delta County Board of Commissioners unanimously adopted the County’s 2026 Budget during Tuesday's Board of County Commissioners monthly meeting, marking the conclusion of a months-long, collaborative budgeting process involving all elected officials, department heads, and the County’s interdepartmental budget team.
The 2026 adopted budget totals $53,670,105, representing a $2,022,512 decrease from the 2025 adopted budget. The reduction is largely due to the completion of multi-year construction projects, including the final remodel of the Delta County Jail.
