Winter tourism, spending set records in ski towns
More people are visiting Colorado ski areas and bringing a winter boost to area spending. The Denver Post reports that a record 13 million visitors this past winter meant the highest sales tax revenue ever for almost every Colorado ski town.
Towns use the higher sales tax revenue for improvement projects benefiting visitors and residents as well as community needs such as affordable housing and transportation. Communities also are looking to restart projects that stalled during the recession.
