Vail, Colorado · VailBeneath the surface of Eagle County are colonies of burrowing, and vocal, ground squirrels. Known as the Wyoming ground squirrels, the species are one of six kinds of ground squirrels in Colorado, according to the Colorado State University Extension. Occupying areas above 5,000 feet in the northern central and northwestern portions of Colorado — drawn to sagebrush, grasslands and subalpine meadows, these rodents often carry the title of “high mo…See the Story

Vail, Colorado · VailThe Vail Valley Theatre Company just came off a six-night streak of sold-out shows on July 16-21 for their production, “Cabaret” but the performers aren’t stopping anytime soon. The frenzy of rehearsals, building sets, sewing costumes, selling tickets and the energy of performing in front of a live audience can be addictive. “We have never done a six-day-in-a-row run before, as our shows usually have been separated into two weeks. And a six-day …See the Story

Vail, Colorado · VailEvery project Habitat for Humanity Vail Valley builds holds a place in my heart. Watching strangers come together to build neighborhoods and community is so inspiring. Building a home provides a solid foundation and strengthens our community. The development at Adam’s Way is possible because of the believers, the dreamers and the partners.

Housing · VailAs housing and renting costs rise, people are getting more and more creative, and there seems to be a draw for many to rural areas. One such area is the San Luis Valley of southeastern Colorado, where after subdivision projects failed, 5 acre plots in the high desert can be purchased for relatively cheap. In May 2017, author Ted Conover bought one of those five acre plots to see what off-grid life looked like firsthand, and lived off that land o…See the Story

Housing · VailThere is no question we need housing and the Edwards location is prime and convenient. The proposed 275 units on the 4.9-acre site have 430,000 square feet and are up to 65 feet tall in parts of the structure. This is the combined size of Avon’s Home Depot, Walmart, and the new Marriott Hotel in Avon. We deserve an apartment complex in Edwards but the size and affordability may suggest a smaller-scale complex be developed. Only 5% of the units w…See the Story
