“Every year Colorado faces a number of challenges in managing growth and diversifying its economic base — both modern challenges, such as ensuring adequate broadband resources in rural areas, and age-old challenges, such as ensuring educational opportunities and affordable housing for the workforce,” Kramer said in a written statement. “EDCC stays equipped to face those challenges by continually adding new talent to its board, and the team we have this year certainly brings the skills and dedication to strengthen the economic development climate and help Colorado move forward.”
