COLORADO SPRINGS â As we work to rebound from the effects of the pandemic, the Colorado Ballet Society is back in action, helping bring the arts back to Colorado Springs and performing in front of live audiences.
It was a tough year for many of the ballerinas, but like so many of us, they learned a lot of lessons along the way.
âIt was just definitely difficult, not being around the people I love most. Because Iâm used to being with them for 6 hours a day sometimes every single day,â senior Gabi Vidano said.
Colorado Springs Utilitiesâ purchase of six natural gas-powered turbines signal the beginning of the end for the Martin Drake Power Plant.
The utility is investing $100 million in the turbines, which will take over power generation as CSU moves to decommission the coal-fired plant until a transmission line is built to serve Downtown Colorado Springs.
General Electric, the manufacturer of the turbines, stated in a news release that the units will be the first of their kind to be installed in North America.
Besides helping CSU power down coal generation at the Drake plant, the highly mobile turbines will also serve CSU and its customers after Drakeâs closure as the utility brings more renewable energy sources onto the system.

Biden s new proposed immigration law can lead thousands to Citizenship
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) Now that President Biden is officially in office, one of the first things on his agenda is immigration. The new president has a plan that, if approved by Congress, could grant citizenship to nearly 50,000 immigrants living in southern Colorado.
Hanes and Bartles, a local immigration law office, says the path to citizenship won t be easy, but if this new bill is passed it can definitely give certainty to many immigrants in the area.
The bill, known as The Citizenship Act of 2021, would allow immigrants without legal status living in the U.S. as of Jan. 1, 2021, to temporarily be put in legal status for five years. A green card will be granted if they meet requirements, like passing a background check and paying taxes, and then they ll be able to apply for citizenship three years later.
