 | | | Good afternoon Montrose, it's nice and sunny outside, and we're looking forward to playing after work. Justin and Cassie coming to you with your afternoon newsletter today, and I've got just a few brief notes for ya.
Russell Stover candy shop changes hands: I spoke with Jeff Keehfuss yesterday, who works with Berkshire Hathaway, and he and his family just bought the former candy shop on the Russell Stover property. There's about 4.5 acres in his lot, and that came with a 100,000 square-foot building in pristine shape. It only set him back about $2.25 million, which he says was a steal. Read more about his plans for the building here.
We have a new city council member next week: Next week will mark the first in-person city council meetings in a year. During Monday's work session, councilor members will be presented with the applicants interviewing to replace former Councilor Roy Anderson's vacant seat. On Tuesday, councilor members will vote in the new city councilor for District III.
On a down-to-earth note, it's Earth Week. The City has put together a schedule of events celebrating Earth Week. The celebrations kicked off last Thursday with the Uncompahgre River improvements ribbon cutting ceremony, and will end on May 1 with the annual Spring Cleanup. Keep an eye out for ongoing environmental cleanup opportunities throughout the season! Read more about self-guided Earth Week actions you can take here.
Veterans are being given a platform for healthcare: The VA Western Colorado Health Care System will be holding a virtual listening session with stakeholders on May 11 from 1-2:30pm. The organization is using the platform to hear from veterans and the communities that the VA serves. The session will be one of 50 public virtual sessions across the country from March through June this year. Veterans will have an opportunity to discuss their ideas on how to design a health care system for the future and suggestions on how to grow services that suit their needs. Read more about how you can register here.
Well this rocks: If Philip Teas isn't on your radar, then he should be. Philip is a semi-retired geologist who uses his knowledge and love of the environment to create some "rocking" art. Between the mash of colors and the abstract swirls of ink, acrylics and digital mediums, get ready to meditate while you study his work. Philip will be Mosaic's featured artist for the month of May, but keep an eye out online tomorrow so you can get to know him a little better before his opening exhibit. Scroll through his website gallery here.
