Valley Roundup - March 20th, 2015

Welcome to Valley Roundup, a review of the top news stories in the valley in the past week.

The Aspen City Council this week chose a brewery/business incubator/TV station to be the new tenant at the old art museum.

The long dormant Buffalo Valley property outside of Glenwood Springs looks like it will become an apartment complex.

A new aerial fire center is coming to the Rifle airport. And the citizens of that town may just get a dose of fluoride in their water.

Aspen’s elected officials made development a bit stricter in the land use code but a citizen referendum may make it null and void.

Should there be dams over 100 feet tall built at the headwaters of Castle and Maroon creeks in order to preserve our water resources?

Meanwhile, plans are in the works to expand the Wheeler Opera House with a theater next door.

And the top local guy in charge of the company developing Snowmass Village has been replaced by the parent firm in New York.

Joining me this week are Curtis Wackerle, editor of the Aspen Daily News, Andy Stone, columnist and former editor of the Aspen Times and Randy Essex, editor of the Glenwood Post Independent.
