Having waited for a couple of weeks while the group has done what can only be described as “tiptoeing” around the issue, the city of Salida gave up waiting on united county messaging.
“I’ve been saying this for a week and it’s been ignored. The city and the chamber have gone out and done our own thing. We’re happy to share that with everybody…but we’re ahead on this and our messaging is already out there and should be at the forefront. Our message is ‘Hey we’re wearing a mask – this is why’.”

Chaffee County Announces COVID-19 “One Chance to Reopen Business Safely”
Chaffee County leaders say that their message regarding the county reopening from the “stay at home” orders for coronavirus known as COVID-19, is very focused on our own county. It is both promise and warning: “We have one chance to get this right.” If we do it wrong, and cases begin to rise, if businesses jump the county’s timeline, if people don’t open social distancing standards, the county could loose its entire, critical summer recreation season.
