Thanks to everyone who comes together to support a resilient mountain economy!

Today, Eagle River Water & Sanitation District Deputy General Manager David Norris and Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority Board Member and Town of Avon, Colorado Government Mayor Tamra Underwood joined Senator John W. Hickenlooper and a diverse group of local leaders, including town managers, ski resort representatives, and whitewater rafting companies, to discuss how drought and wildfires are affecting outdoor recreation, local businesses, and our mountain economy.

The conversation was an important opportunity to advocate for additional resources and support from our federal partners, while also recognizing the strength of local collaboration. When our communities and businesses are under stress, communication, coordination and a shared commitment to finding solutions can make all the difference.

We are grateful for the local leaders who continue to come together to navigate these challenges and support a resilient mountain economy.
