Join us for the second episode with Montrose City Manager Bill Bell — which we have cleverly decided to call The Bell Curve.
Once again, Bill Fields questions from Rob and Dennis as well as the community and offers insight into the proposed lodging tax, how the police department is funded, the challenge of empty stores on Main Street, affordable housing, and we discuss the latest development on the revitalization of the old Bullock Power Plant among other topics.
Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that sheds light on the future of Montrose and the initiatives aimed at enhancing our city's livability.
