I’d like to welcome our newly-appointed chief of police, Kimberly Ferber, to this strange little community called Aspen. When the city of Aspen has employees moving to Basalt and farther away for housing and had.

Pitkin County commissioners as well as Aspen and Basalt town councils on Tuesday unanimously supported the creation of a nonprofit housing coalition for the Roaring Fork Valley and beyond to try to address the area’s lack of affordable housing options. The elected officials all agreed to chip in $10,000 each toward the effort.
