We just had a snow storm, most likely the storm you have now. The economy is not great but improving, in fact in my home town of Pueblo there are many developments planned the largest will be 24,000 Acers. Vesta's is, also, building the worlds largest tower factory for wind turbines in Pueblo and we should get the nations largest solar plant this year.
Are you from a big or small city?

technicly I am from a "town" because we have a Town Manager and not a mayor. My hometown of Plainfield( population around 28,000 and yets it big) is also planning lots of developments as fars as acreage I dont know how big they are. Is Pueblo a "rich" town? |

Not at all. The best way to describe Pueblo is a industrial town that meets the southwest as we have a large steel mill here. How about your town? |

It is best described as rich.
Lots of things here that most outsiders would see as wasteful spending. we do have somewhat of a small industrial base. |

That sounds kewl. Pueblo has things like a convention center, Riverwalk and events center but it takes a lot of effort or in the case of the events center we just get the state to pay for it! |

We dont have a convention center but we have a events center, an extensive park and greenway system which includes riverwalks and lots of other stuff. My town mainly foots the bill for everything. The state comes in and takes over where their is possibly left. |

You guys have bigger rivers there so I bet you Riverwalk is awesome, ours is more like a Stream Walk in comparison lol. Pueblo is home to the Colorado State Fair that is why the state paid for the events center. Do you guys have any major companies headquartered there? We have a few the largest being the Professional Bull Riders that is the 7th largest sport. |

I think 7 of Forbes top 100 hundred companies are based around here. Our events center was paid for by the town. |
