Fort Collins Grocery Store Property Sold: Is It Closing For Good?
Recently, there has been a lot of drama regarding grocery stores here in Colorado, with the Kroger and Albertsons merger being the contributing factor.

Mayors Message: Mayor Gary Hall
Thanks to the Estes Park Trail-Gazette for the continuing opportunity to offer my perspectives. In the aftermath of the fires, I can say that the skill and strength of the firefighters, police officers, Emergency Medical Services, American Red Cross, and other first responders and support crews, were in full display throughout the events. As with any incident command, there will be after-action meetings occurring to determine what went well and what could improve. In the early stages of these crises, or when conditions are rapidly changing, information can be conflicting and confusing from many different sources. I’ve received lots of suggestions, ideas, and concerns about the process to consider for future events. We know that we’ll have more fires; it’s the nature of our mountain forest world, aggravated by huge stands of beetle-killed pines across the state. We know that we can’t isolate Estes from those fires — when the Troublesome Creek fire leaped the Continental Divide in 2020, it demonstrated that there’s no way to cloister the town away from future fires. Each crisis is a prelude to the next, and an opportunity to optimize our readiness, focus our communication methods, and more.
