Do you have questions about the Xcel Franchise Renewal? -- Attend a community meeting on 8/10 or 8/15 to better understand this important issue for Lafayette residents.
Lafayette residents will be voting whether or not to renew the City’s franchise agreement with Xcel Energy in November. This is a very important issue that will affect Lafayette services. We hope to answer any questions and provide information to share with your friends and neighbors.
