CRAIG Craig has been awarded a $3.3 million Economic Development Administration Assistance to Coal Communities Grant for construction of the Yampa River Corridor Project. The corridor project is the result of a multi-year planning process.

Interstate 70 is more than 60 miles south of Craig across rugged terrain.
But when the east-west thoroughfare that bisects the state is shut down due to mudslides in Glenwood Canyon, the impact is felt close to home.
Craig residents couldn’t help but notice the increased traffic last week, but even on lighter days, businesses take note of the uptick in out-of-town guests.
“Mostly I’m seeing a bunch of faces I don’t normally see,” said Danny Griffith, owner of J.W. Snack’s along Victory Way.
Victory Way is also U.S. Highway 40 and is a critical detour route for travelers when I-70 is closed.
