A sneak peek at tomorrow's print edition … In tomorrow's print edition of the Montrose Daily Press, you can read about the merging of Lighthouse shelter and Shepard's Hand; as well as about Delta County ranchers' efforts with water conservation and deficit irrigation; and also about new legislation that would convey Crystal Lake and Full Moon Dam to the city of Ouray.  Also in tomorrow's paper, you will unfortunately see stories detailing two tragedies from this past week: the first regarding a school shooting at Evergreen High School in Jefferson County, and another detailing the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk in Utah, and the announcement by authorities that a suspect in the shooting is in custody.  Oh, and also ... it's that time again!

Read More City takes steps toward expanding urban renewal areas: Montrose has retained an attorney to discuss a second URA project area Around town, many may think the Montrose Urban Renewal Authority is synonymous with the Colorado Outdoors development. But, city officials explained at a workshop and meeting last week, the Urban Renewal Authority actually allows the city to designate project areas anywhere in town, and the growing Colorado Outdoors campus could just be the first. Now, the Montrose City Council has voted to retain legal services to evaluate what it would take to add a second project area downtown and whether it should consider doing so. Designating a new area would give the city different tools for encouraging growth and removing blight, but staff stressed nothing has been decided yet. https://www.montrosepress.com/news/business/baked-crafted-and-produced-with-care-the-stories-behind-montroses-local-sweet-shops/article_2b33f2ba-f31e-11ef-a164-1b1233642856.html

Help make your favorite local business owner's day

Best of the Valley nods close Sunday

Email not displaying correctly? View the web version

Local businesses make Montrose, Montrose I often have the privilege of writing our weekly business section, and in doing so gotten the opportunity to get to know dozens of the local business owners who make our community what it is. Almost every time I chat with someone who's starting or expanding their business, they have a great story to share and bring something new to the table.  To name some of my favorites would be both unfair and unexhaustive, so I won't. But, I will add that no matter what you're looking for, whether it's a spot to spend a night out, watch a movie, pick up unique essentials or thrift something totally unique, Montrose probably has the perfect spot for it. And, many of these businesses constantly give back to the community and team up with each other for extra unique offerings. Now, it's time to honor them with our annual Best of the Valley publication. So, if you have your own favorite local spot, be sure to let us know before nominations close on Sunday. And, while I cover lots of local businesses, Best of Valley covers a whole lot more. So, if someone in the community is doing something good, your kiddo has a favorite coach, or you want to support a group that's making a difference, check out our categories because chances are there's something for everyone. Cheers, Kylea from the newsroom It's that time again!  Time to nominate your favorites for the annual Best of the Valley awards! Nominations are open until 11 p.m. Sunday. Voting starts Tuesday, Sept. 15. Check out the details here
