Craig Press
Well hello there.
I can’t tell you how pleased I am to introduce myself as your new Craig Press editor.
That’s right, I’m YOUR editor. My primary allegiance is to truth, and that’s primarily because my professional loyalty is to you, the people of Craig and Moffat County, and I firmly believe that truth is what you deserve.
I’m Cuyler Meade, and while my byline and my name on the masthead have preceded my arrival to your soon to be our beautiful city, my family and I are hurrying to be present. We couldn’t be more excited to be making our new home in Craig in the next couple weeks. We cannot wait to meet you.
Proposed changes would allow those that spend less than $50 million to get four-year tax credits and so-called “unicorns” that invest more to get them for 10 years.

A homeless shelter in RiNo that expanded its hours last year will continue operating 24/7 into the near future.
On Monday, the City Council approved a resolution paying the Salvation Army $10.65 million to operate the Crossroads Center at 1901 29th St. through the end of 2023.
Crossroads, long operated by the Salvation Army as an overnight shelter, was expanded to provide non-stop services last year as pandemic pressures and a resulting flood of resources accelerated and exacerbated a need.
“It was a need we’d already identified in our planning process and a move we were working with partners to try and make,” said Angie Nelson, Deputy Director of Housing Stability (HOST) and Homelessness Resolution for the city. “The infusion of federal resources related to the COVID response accelerated the implementation and made it so we couldn’t wait, because we needed it now.”
Amish furniture store relocating to Wash Park from Colorado Blvd.

Wash Park is getting a new furniture store.
The former site of Charcoal Bistro on Gaylord Street will become the new home for Modern Bungalow, an Amish furniture store that’s operated out of a strip mall along Colorado Boulevard in University Hills since 2003.
Danielle Sandusky and her husband Matt Hubbard purchased Modern Bungalow from its retiring former owners in 2017. They hadn’t ever run a retail outlet before, but knew at the time they would want to move the store eventually.
“When we walked in the store, it felt like being transported to a different world,” Sandusky said. “This does not belong here.”
