Sales tax revenue stagnant in Boulder, booming in Longmont – Longmont Times-Call
Experts believe the burgeoning shopping districts of neighboring cities are siphoning shoppers from Boulder’s core. The trend, coupled with record rents and complaints over parking, has spurred the Downtown Boulder Partnership to action, hoping to halt the downward slide and bring locals back to Boulder.
Wow, what would would we do without experts? Perhaps use common sense?
Shopping in Boulder is expensive, and I can’t always find what I want here. I’ve sometimes taken to shopping in Superior. Other times, I shop online.
Since I spend most my time in Longmont, that’s where I do my shopping if I can. Typically I stop by Hazel’s and Home Depot in Boulder on my Sunday morning re-cycling run.
