CARBONDALE — — The board of trustees and its economic development advisors agreed Tuesday night to keep working together to find ways to bring more business to town.
Exactly how that will be accomplished, however, remains up in the air.
The two key members of the Carbondale Economic Development Partnership, consultant Lani Kitching and businessman Bill Grant, suggested on Tuesday that one option might be to work with the city of Glenwood Springs.
The trustees agreed, and told Kitching and Grant that the CEDP has been doing good work so far.
“I like the outreach that’s occurred since the board resigned en mass,” said Trustee Allyn Harvey.
Harvey was referring to the resignation of several CEDP board members following controversial election outcomes earlier this year.
The departed board members included outspoken supporters of the defeated Village at Crystal River project Dave Weimer, Frank McSwain Jr., Debbie Patrick and Bill Lamont.
Other former CEDP board members included local residents Brian Leasure and Bob Schoofs.
