The depressed economy in the West End of Montrose County may get a boost from new tourism and outdoor recreation ventures, as Jason Blevins with the Colorado Sun reports. He recently traveled to the area for an article detailing efforts to revitalize the West End. Blevins spoke to KVNF’s Laura Palmisano.
