Ty's Take
Airport expansion and a new PALS facility both moving forward at the same time means someone around here is thinking long term, which is refreshing to see. The hangars could bring more business traffic through, the kind that doesn't require state funding arguments or water rights negotiations. Meanwhile, Adams State keeps doing what it does best, building infrastructure to serve the valley. Mix in some decent entertainment on the stage this week and a fishing talk at the Rotary, and this is the kind of Tuesday where Alamosa doesn't feel like it's just holding its own, but actually building something.
