Panel Name: Housing: Any relief in the high country?
Moderator: Reporter Jason Blevins
The housing crisis in the high country continues, but has anything taken place to take off some of the pressure? What’s happening to make it better after communities and the state implemented a litany of new laws and regulations? The panel will include Kimball Crangle, president of the Colorado market for Gorman & Company, and Tim Wohlgenant, CEO of Yampa Valley Community Foundation.
