I *will* be moving out of the City this spring and one of the areas I'm considering is Hotchkiss. I work from home so employment is not an issue.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I've read the valley has similar weather to Denver, maybe more snow?
It seems that most daily goods (food, misc.) can be bought locally, but there's not much in the way of home repair/hardware locally? I tend to do a lot of home/shop projects...will that require going into Delta or Grand Junction constantly?
Is the economy mostly agriculture now?
Is there any tourism?
How fast is the area growing?
I've never been through this part of Colorado so any insight is appreciated.
Especially what you like or don't like about the area and your thoughts on the hunting/fishing in the immediate vicinity. Thanks in advance.
