Good morning, Fort Collins.

Rapid growth is straining the electricity supply as new homes and businesses develop in Northern Colorado; local utilities are reviewing options to boost capacity.

A personal finance writer offers practical tips for mindful shopping (helping Fort Collins residents control spending amid rising inflation) to save money and stay on budget.

Transfort will host a public open house on Thursday, June 11, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. at the Downtown Transit Center to explain proposed transit service changes, with Spanish interpretation available, as route revisions will take effect on Aug.
