Voters on Tuesday approved a sales tax hike in many cities along the Front Range to fund the Front Range Passenger Rail District, an inner-city train scheduled to run between Fort Collins and Pueblo by 2032. And in this week’s episode of “Colorado Chamber Office Hours,” I discuss with Sal Pace, general manager of the district, how the buildout of this line will work and what it could mean to employers.
Pace discusses where the stops will go, who district leaders expect to be riding the train and what the sales-tax hike could mean to businesses that will be passing it along to their customers in 31 municipalities and the Sterling Ranch Metropolitan District. And he also explains why he believes this train could lessen congestion on Interstate 25, which could be the biggest benefit to employers of the project if that were to happen.
