La Veta – Cuchara Valley Blog

If you have not yet seen our August Newsletter from here in the Cuchara Valley, then check it out, at http://realtytimes.com/129/jerryhenson   It is chocked full of real estate stories plus local area news, views and gossip too. 

Recent local controversies surrounded the re-development (or  was it undevelopment)  of Charlie Park west of the high school and the proposed new high voltage power transmission lines that will cross Huerfano County (somewhere).   Other new positive changes include the additional handicap parking on Main and more new proposed cell towers.  

Three cell towers are planned for north of the La Veta Airport area, for south of La Veta Pass area and near Hwy. 69 about 10 miles west of Walsenburg.  All 3 would utilize a GSM signal for AT&T and T-Mobile.  Recent cell panels in La Veta and Cuchara provided Comnet signal for Verizon, AT&T and soon for Alltel.
