It was never a dull moment in 2018 for the City of Colorado Springs. Co-hosts (and city councilors) Bill Murray and Tom Strand discuss a new CEO, new governance committees, renewed commitment to renewables, and developments related to closing the coal-fired Martin Drake power plant at Utilities. Also on the docket: the new regulation of short-term rentals, the ban on camping within 100 feet of waterways (how are we doing in assisting the homeless?), and development incentives via Urban Renewal desgnation. Does the city really benefit from Urban Renewal Designation? Could developers build their projects without the city’s help? (Episode 104, Recorded 11/16/18)
