The Grand County Commission held a public hearing this week to consider an alternative dwelling overlay ordinance. That would create a pilot program to allow non-traditional housing — like RVs, tiny homes and longer-term camping — potentially within residential areas. The goal is to provide more housing for the local workforce. Plus, our partners report on an annual hot air balloon bonanza which brought dozens of colorful vessels to Snowmass Village in Colorado. And we get an update on local government from Moab Sun News in our new segment "What Happened at the Meeting."
