Council Matters: Colorado Springs New Sustainable Energy Plan 17 July 06 2020

What this episode covers

Finally! CSU is moving forward. Will the rest of the city follow? Colorado Springs Utilities is finally moving into the 21st century with its New Sustainable Energy Plan 17. Hooray! About time. Won’t list the accomplishments here (you’ll have to listen), but you’ll have to thank UPAC, the Utilities Board, and the management of CSU. Eight hundred affordable housing units will be built in Colorado Springs. The city isn’t doing it. They’re only the financial conduit. All private companies doing the work. The city has been encouraging high end housing through its policies. Therefore, you have a shortage of “affordable housing.” Is inflation raising its ugly head here in Colorado Springs? Is the city prepared for the next Covid-19 hit? According to Councilman Bill Murray the city is. Keep your fingers crossed. Did you know the USOC Olympic Museum is built on a hill? Doesn’t look like it, does it?
