📰 News we're reading

• Front Range cities to vote on Colorado Connector rail service (missoulacurrent.com) — Littleton is slated to host a permanent station on the proposed Colorado Connector rail line, and voters in 30 Front Range cities will decide this November on a 0.333% sales tax to fund full service. If approved, the tax would support building out frequent passenger rail between Fort Collins and Pueblo by the early 2030s, potentially easing I-25 traffic and reshaping regional commuting options.
   

• New artist residency program by South Suburban Parks and Recreation helps support local artists (denver7.com) — Littleton artists now have a chance to apply for a new Hudson Gardens Artist in Residence program, offering a $1,100 stipend, dedicated studio space, and a community workshop or lecture. Run by South Suburban Parks and Recreation and Hudson Gardens, the residency is designed to give local creatives focused time, inspiration, and public exposure, with applications for the next round opening soon.
