Having worked in the commercial real estate industry for eight years, he specializes in budget development and forecasting, vendor service management and contract and lease negotiations.
“Adam’s talent for cultivating and supporting tenant relationships has resulted in high occupancy rates, minimal turnover and the renewal of long-term leases,” Todd Alexander, SEV principal and director of real estate services, said in a release. “His new position is well-deserved, and we look forward to his continued leadership of the property management team.”
The Grand Junction City Council discussed an implementation matrix to help it prioritize projects identified in the One Grand Junction Comprehensive Plan at its Monday workshop.
The comprehensive plan calls for the city to develop the matrix to prioritize short- to long-term projects and strategies for implementing the plan.
Council Member Phyllis Norris, whose term on the council will soon end, said she felt the incoming council should have a say in the matrix.
Norris noted that the council, which will be elected on April 6, will also be developing the cityâs strategic plan for the next two years, which may draw on the implementation matrix. Council Member Chuck McDaniel said he agreed with Norris and said the strategic planning process is a good way for new Council members to learn about the issues facing the city.
After over a decade of banning dispensaries, Grand Junction voters will decide whether or not to opt into retail marijuana during a citywide election April 6.
The Grand Junction City Council has approved ballot language for the April 6 election asking voters whether to allow marijuana businesses to operate and be taxed within the city.
Where would the Grand Valley be without the Colorado West Land Trust?
Peach grower Harry Talbott has said he doubts there still would be a peach industry here if not for the work the trust has done to preserve productive orchard land from development.
If that was the land trustâs only achievement, it would be worth celebrating. But itâs done so much more in the 40 years since it was started by Palisade farmers.
It has conserved roughly 125,000 acres of land stretching from the Bookcliffs to the Black Canyon â preserving views, open spaces, multi-generational farming/ranching livelihoods and vast swaths of wildlife habitat. Itâs helped sustain the local food supply and facilitated partnerships to enhance access to public lands and the great outdoors.
