📰 News we're reading

• Wildfire modeling raises questions about homeowner risk (aspendailynews.com) — Wildfire modeling classified 63% of Snowmass Village homes as highly or very highly vulnerable before mitigation, but residents haven’t been individually notified of their ratings. As officials weigh how to share those findings, the town offers rebates for homeowners who clear vegetation within five feet of their homes and harden all vents.
   

• Snowmass adopts nearly $174M budget for 2027 (aspentimes.com) — Workforce housing accounts for the largest share of Snowmass Village’s newly adopted 2027 budget, with $76.1 million allocated to Draw Site construction. The nearly $174 million spending plan, including transfers between funds, also budgets $6.5 million for the proposed Mall Transit Center and $3.5 million for the Little Red Schoolhouse expansion.
   

• Snowmass history: Post office (aspentimes.com) — Snowmass Village was preparing to get its own post office in 1967, though its form was still undecided. A newspaper account outlined two possibilities: a counter operated inside another business or a government-staffed office, either serving as a branch of Aspen’s post office.
