The Town of Telluride announced an emergency ordinance halting new construction in certain areas for a period of six months.

 

A number of new businesses and a Marriott Hotel are currently under construction at the Colorado Outdoors development in Montrose.

 

The 2022-2023 water year is a 30-yr record for the San Miguel Basin! Snowpack peaked around 200% of the median average. 

 

 

At first glance, the percentage decrease in number of transactions and dollar volume YTD may seem significant.
