What do community members want to see north of town? Is it a grocery store, housing, or RV Parks? Whether it’s all or none of the above, Grand County wants to know. The planning commission is working on a Small Area Plan for the node around Highways 313 and 191. Developers are interested in this area, and county representatives want local input to drive an updated vision plan. Plus later in the news, many states in the west are looking to get a handle on coronavirus by diving into the sewer.
