Sans Community Center?
Current building likely to be demolished before new one is finished

A 2005 agreement between the city and the East Routt Library District was intended to ensure continuous operation of the center. And seniors, who frequently use the center, took that agreement as a promise that the city would build a new facility before the current one is destroyed to make room for an $11.4 million expansion of the Bud Werner Memorial Library.

Kerry Hart: Colorado high school students are not disadvantaged
I recently returned to Colorado after a six-year hiatus, most of which was spent in Wyoming.
