Title

A Resolution of Appreciation to Westside Pioneer and their contribution to Colorado Springs Westside community.

 

  Presenter: 

Don Knight, Council Member

 

Body

  Summary:

The Westside Pioneer began in January 2004 as a "mom-and-pop" weekly newspaper for the Colorado Springs Westside, attaining a circulation of over 5,000. The goal was to provide consistent, accurate news coverage for a significant and historic part of the city - in a way that larger publications could not or would not. Founders Kenyon and Therese Jordan, long-time Colorado Springs residents and Westsiders since 1986, are retiring. Council member Knight would like to honor the hard work and dedication of their family to the City of Colorado Springs. City Council hereby recognizes the Westside Pioneer’s contribution to the City of Colorado Springs and expresses its appreciation for the vital work in support of the City’s Westside neighborhoods and its citizens.
