Greeley Forward touts $2.92B economic impact of Catalyst

**Greeley Forward touts $2.92B economic impact of Catalyst Group, challenges Greeley Demands Better to debate ahead of Feb. 24 election**

Proponents of the Cascadia and Catalyst projects in west Greeley are highlighting a potential $2.92 billion economic impact and are challenging opponents to a public debate before the February 24 election.

Supporters argue that the projects would bring significant business growth, job opportunities, and boost the local economy. Both the Cascadia and Catalyst initiatives have become central topics in the upcoming Greeley election, sparking vigorous discussion and community interest.

However, the proposals have drawn criticism from the group Greeley Demands Better, who voice concerns about potential negative impacts, including environmental and infrastructure issues. Amid the acrimony, Greeley Forward, representing Catalyst Group proponents, is urging an open debate to address these concerns and provide voters with clear, transparent information.
