With a two-year hiatus from the traditional Fourth of July festivities including the parade and fireworks due to the pandemic and drought conditions, along with concern from elected officials about increased crowds, noise and environmental impacts, Independence Day in Aspen may look different in the future.
“A lot of locals leave during this time, because it’s been so commercialized, and it’s not the Aspen they know anymore,” said Ann Mullins, a former Aspen City Councilwoman who serves on a committee re-examining July 4 events and celebrations next year and beyond.
If there are any changes, it will be up to the community to decide, according to city officials.
The city of Aspen has developed a total compensation package that will serve as the foundation for how to pay employees in the future, and how to recruit and retain them.
A management plan for the Marolt Open Space is designed to leave it mostly the same, with perhaps a small bike park on the southwest corner after the community weighs in.
