City of Grand Junction Mayor Anna Stout was recently appointed by Governor Polis to the Colorado Geographic Naming Advisory Board as the local government representative.
The Colorado Geographic Naming Advisory Board assists and cooperates with the United States Board on Geographic Names (USBGN) by evaluating all proposals concerning name changes, new names, and name controversies of geographic features and certain public places in Colorado. Official recommendations are then made to the Governor. The purpose of the board is to help review and vet proposals for geographic and place name changes and new names for the entire state.
