City of Aspen officials are preparing for a second summer tourism season in a pandemic, and they expect it to be as busy if not busier than last year.
Aspen City Council is scheduled for a lengthy work session Tuesday that will cover the municipal government’s finances from 2020, its $6 million relief and recovery efforts and what future assistance will be necessary.
“This pandemic is not over,” Mayor Torre said. “We will continue working with our partners and look for more financial aid and play a guiding role in helping businesses.”
