Registration is underway for an event that will address a range of issues associated with economic development in Western Colorado.

The Grand Junction Economic Partnership has scheduled the Western Colorado Economic Summit for 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 26 at the Grand Junction Convention Center. The summit serves as an annual meeting and fund-raiser for the economic development organization.

Britain Garza, community relations manager for GJEP, said the agenda hasn’t yet been finalized, but likely will include presentations on infrastructure, housing, real estate, transportation and work force development. The summit also will include a keynote luncheon presentation.

There’ll be a common theme, Garza said. “What kind of opportunities do we have moving forward?”

GJEP will present two awards: the Joseph Prinster Leadership Award for individual achievement in economic development and  Charter Communications Spirit of Economic Development Award to a business or organization that demonstrates community awareness and involvement. Nominations will be accepted through March 31 and should be emailed to Garza at britain@gjep.org.
