Well…the big news in Durango right now are the City Council elections that are set to take place April 3rd.  There are 8 candidates running to fill 3 positions.  2 of the 8 are running for re-election and they are Sidny Zink and Tom Howley, who we believe served very well during their previous terms.  This election could potentially have a big impact on Real Estate in the area.  We have just approved a New Comprehensive Plan for the City’s land use and the 3 elected officials will be in office to implement the plan.  You can view a couple of different articles by clicking on the following links:  Durango Herald Article; Candidates’ Forum: Sidny Zink; Candidates’ Forum: Peter Tregillus; Candidates’ Forum: Michael Rendon; Candidates’ Forum: Scott Graham; Candidates’ Forum: Leigh Meigs; Candidates’ Forum: Linda Geer; Candidates Forum: Tom Howley; Candidates Forum: Jerry Swingle.   

The Annual Durango Independent Film Festival started yesterday and it runs through March 4th.  This year’s festival includes 3 Academy Award nominees and several other award winning films.  I went least year to one of the short programs and really enjoyed it!  We plan on going to the Adventure/Sports Program this Saturday.  There are a lot of events associated with the festival this weekend and you can go to www.DurangoFilm.org to find out more information, order tickets and view the schedule.
