It's a Rocky Mountain High with the monthly Economic Recovery Corps Fellows "Spin and Chat!"
In this episode, Neil and Will sit down with ERC Fellow Sasha Nelson and Hosts John Bristol with the Routt County Economic Development Partnership and Christine Rambo with the Northwest Colorado Development Council. As a region that has a history of coal production, there's no surprise they speak about the similarities with their region and region's in Appalachia that are going through a just transition from coal. Take a listen as they describe the power of regionalization in their area and economic development in general. The Hosts organizations have a unique partnership working toward common goals and "sharing" Sasha to build upon their goals. You might even hear Will's first roller coaster ride (without supervision) and Neil's thoughts on asteroids. Also, don't forget about the #AppBiz of the week: Long's Pic Pac!
