A man whose violent threats to Pitkin County officials this spring led to a two-day lockdown of the county administration building in downtown Aspen agreed Monday to a plea deal in the case.
After a nearly year-long vacancy, the city of Aspen has hired a new executive director of the local affordable housing program, which manages over 3,000 deed restricted for-sale and rental units in its multi-million dollar inventory.
Matthew Gillen, who currently resides in the United Kingdom, has worked for over 20 years as a foreign service officer with the U.S. Department of State.
He beat out 51 other candidates for the job, which was left vacant last August when former executive director Mike Kosdrosky was forced to resign after clashing with city officials over myriad issues, including the governance structure of the organization and holding an executive session illegally with the board over his salary.

And while it may not be the good ol’ days of 2019 indoor facemasks will almost certainly still be required and the fun could stop abruptly if hospital capacity is threatened it should be a far cry from the not-so-great COVID-19 summer of 2020, Pitkin County Manager Jon Peacock said Monday.
