Exploration for and production of natural gas is a major industry in western Colorado. And, being a good neighbor is a responsible part of doing business here. Community Counts is a community-based program designed to offer residents a resource for open and respectful dialogue when they have issues, concerns or questions relating to the natural gas industry.

Members of Community Counts strive to balance the economic and social benefits of natural gas operations with the impacts the operations have on the communities and environment.
