🚗 Delays & Price Hikes—How Will You Adapt?

With the US imposing a 25% tariff on foreign-made automobiles and a 10% baseline tariff on other imported goods, car repairs in Colorado Springs are expected to cost more and take longer. Shops may start repairing parts instead of replacing them to cut costs.

While common sense tells us that car repairs will always be needed, higher prices might push some toward alternative transportation. Will we see more carpooling or expanded mass transit options? And how will this impact our local economy in the long run? Time will tell as these tariffs take effect.

🩺 $365M Investment in Colorado’s Health

UCHealth’s $365 million investment in the University of Colorado School of Medicine is fueling cutting-edge medical research and training future doctors, many of whom stay in Colorado to practice. From breakthroughs in cancer treatment to AI-driven healthcare innovations, this funding directly impacts Southern Colorado, where students train in local hospitals and clinics, often choosing to establish practices in Colorado Springs and surrounding areas.

With new technologies improving patient care and medical discoveries changing lives, UC School of Medicine continues to be a crucial force in advancing healthcare for our state.

💡 Big Ideas for North Nevada—Will They Work?

A major revitalization effort could breathe new life into North Nevada Ave, turning it into a hub for business, research, and community growth. Experts suggest an “innovation neighborhood” with entertainment, social spaces, and expanded research facilities, all while addressing housing affordability and infrastructure needs. Improved roads, better public transit, and stronger ties with UCCS are also on the table.

While business owners and residents are curious about the long-term impact, city leaders believe this transformation will make North Nevada a key part of Colorado Springs’ future. Full Story

🚨 A Family’s 24-Year Dream Destroyed Overnight

A longtime family-owned jewelry store at Citadel Mall is closing after suffering a devastating burglary, where thieves took off with $220,000 in merchandise. This marked the fourth time they’d been targeted, but the damage—both financial and emotional—was too much to overcome. The store owners, who built their business from a small kiosk over 24 years, now face the heartbreaking reality of closing for good.

Surveillance footage has been shared in hopes of identifying the suspects, but for the family, the loss is irreplaceable. Full Story
