Denver International Airport unveils final phase of Great Hall renovation, lays out future projects

By Austen Erblat | CBS Colorado Construction inside Denver International Airport's Jeppesen Terminal could soon be nearing its end. And while plenty of other renovation projects at the airport are now in their early stages, airport officials say those won't have nearly the same impact as the Great Hall renovation. DIA CEO Phil Washington unveiled plans and renderings for the final phase of the Great Hall Project on Tuesday, saying the remodeled terminal will showcase "the spirit of Colorado" and better serve passengers. The airport says work will be completed on time and on budget in 2027, but the cost and timeline for completion have changed several times over the last few years. READ THE FULL STORY AT CBS COLORADO

In Grand Junction, officials and community alike want to know more on future resource center site

By Jen Schumann | Contributing Writer, Rocky Mountain Voice City officials are negotiating to relocate Grand Junction’s Resource Center to North Avenue, but residents and business owners have thus far been left uninformed. Despite past assurances a new location should limit its impact on businesses, Rocky Mountain Voice has confirmed that city officials are in the process of acquiring 2851 and 2851 ½ North Avenue, a strip mall surrounded by businesses and residences. Councilmen Dennis Simpson and Scott Beilfuss confirmed the deal is underway, but said the Council has not yet considered it in a formal session. “We’re in the process of negotiating to buy 2851 and 2851 ½ [on North Avenue]. I guess there are two different properties probably [to combine],” Simpson said. Beilfuss...

Interstate power lines threaten farmers’ land in southeastern Colorado

By Parker Yamasaki | The Colorado Sun Quay County, New Mexico, is best known as a neon blip along historic Route 66, with a cluster of retro motels in its county seat, Tucumcari, about halfway between Albuquerque and Amarillo, Texas. Besides that, it’s a relatively rural part of the country, populated by multigenerational farmers and ranchers. Ed and Patty Hughs are some of those ranchers. And Ed was surprised to find his property on a different kind of map last year: smack in the middle of a path for new power lines drawn by the U.S. Department of Energy. The map shows one of three proposed routes for a National Interest Electric Transmission Corridor, the result of a Biden administration program to accelerate transmission projects in areas where coverage could soon falter.

Striking Colorado grocery workers can’t block store entrances but may continue speech, judge rules

By Amanda Pampuro  | Courthouse News A Denver judge on Friday declined Colorado grocery chain King Sooper’s request for a restraining order limiting the number of picketers and their speech outside grocery stores, but granted a plea to prohibit striking union members from blocking entrances to stores or setting up tents. "The balance of equities favors the granting of a limited injunction given the allegations regarding access to ingress and egress,” wrote Second Judicial District Judge Sarah Wallace in an 11-page order. “By narrowly tailoring the temporary restraining order, defendants will still be permitted a broad ability to picket consistent with their First Amendment rights, with only minimum restrictions to protect public and employee safety,” Wallace, an appointee of ...

King Soopers calls for union, representing 10,000 striking workers, to return to bargaining table

By Elyse Apel | The Center Square The workers strike at King Soopers continues as the company calls for the union to negotiate a deal. The Colorado-based grocery store is one of the largest employers in the state. Since the strike began on Feb. 6, union members at more than 70 stores, many of them in the Denver area, have joined. More workers from Colorado Springs could also be poised to join the strike in the coming days, following a contract expiration. The United Food and Commercial Workers Local Union No. 7 initiated the two-week strike of more than 10,000 unionized workers, alleging unfair labor practices. According to the union, 96% of its members voted to strike. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE CENTER SQUARE

Local ranchers get wolf training from Delta County Livestock Association

Hotchkiss is a small town with a population of 929 people, all of whom are impacted by the local ranching economy. Hotchkiss is located in the North Fork of the Gunnison River, between Paonia and Delta, in Delta County. “We are not here to argue about the wolves, they’re here.
