In Colorado Springs, employment is up, we’re adding jobs, and tax revenue has been rising. But affordable housing and good-paying jobs are scarce, tax increases are still a routine occurrence, and park funding is still not back to pre-recession levels. Bob Cutter joins Council Matters host and City Councilor Bill Murray to take a hard and honest look at Colorado Springs’ economy. This episode isn’t for the faint of heart. If you’re looking for cheerleading or boosterism, this isn’t the place. Just an open conversation.
The first episode of season 3 explores quality of life, economic development, jobs, the relationship between council and the mayor, and more. Does Colorado Springs have a real plan for the future? (S3, Episode 1, Recorded 6/7/19)
