They visited on August 3, to talk with residents and local leaders about their ideas for economic development and redesigning their downtown.
Fowler is a rural community of just over 1,100 people located in the Arkansas River Valley in southeastern Colorado, about 30 miles east of Pueblo.
Lt. Gov. O’Brien and Director Kirkpatrick visited the Fowler Senior Center, took a walking tour of downtown and participated in a community forum to advance the state’s Sustainable Main Streets Initiative. Along with Fowler, Rifle, Monte Vista and Denver’s Five Points neighborhood are also taking part in the Main Streets pilot program, which aims to enhance the sustainability of downtown corridors.
