In addition to tourism, the plan calls for embracing renewable energy such as solar farms, adding amenities like a recreation center, improving public transit across the region, and finding alternative uses for coal. Officials also see potential to extract other precious minerals for electronics and manufacturing.
Craig also will expand high-speed internet this year. Already, broadband connections have opened up the possibility of remote work for longtime residents and spurred hope that tech companies would consider locating there.
The city can tout its affordability: Housing is cheaper than on Colorado’s Front Range and in nearby Steamboat Springs. Craig’s proximity to the outdoors could also draw newcomers.
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS In a filing with the Colorado Public Utilities Commission last week, Xcel Energy Colorado said 80% of all the energy used by consumers would come from renewable sources by 2030.
The filing has been anticipated for months, especially after the company unveiled its Clean Energy Plan in February saying it would reduce carbon-dioxide emissions by 85% by 2030, when compared to 2005 levels, making it the “largest, most aggressive and most-climate driven” proposal in the Xcel’s history.
The plan represents a dramatic turn away from coal-based energy for the company and incorporates the closing of several coal-fired plants in Colorado. Two of those generators are at the Hayden Station, one is in Craig, and another is near Pueblo. The company has insisted there will not be layoffs when closing these plants.
