EDO Prepares for Next Month's Assessment

Its still about a month away, but a committee of community members, representing the Economic Development Organization (EDO), is getting ready for the upcoming Community Economic Development Assessment on October 28 and 29. The assessment is sponsored by the Colorado Office of Economic Development. The assessment will look at development in the future in Logan County and will be done by pros who meet with local leaders and the public in a learning process of the community. When its over, a report will suggest to community leaders what future development will look like. Those doing the assessment said the assessment isn't to tell the Logan County community how to do things, but a resource to help them decide what the future of the community will be.

Wiggins Water Project Won't Cost as Much as Thought

Households in Wiggins will pay only 60 dollars a month more for the town's water project, instead of 90 dollars a month. That's because the town, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture will split the cost of the project 60-40, instead of right down the middle, after the USDA approved a grant and loan package for about 5.5 million dollars. The project will send water from a well just outside of town to improve the quality and quantity of water.
