(Pivot-ing into downtown Grand Junction) - Pivot Provisions & Design Studio uses retail shop to promote its design business Tim Harty, The Business Times Walk into Pivot Provisions & Design Studio, 521 Main St. in downtown Grand Junction, and it’s obvious the store sells casual clothes for men and women. Not so obvious, even though it’s the second half of the business name, is the bulk of what business partners Staci Mikita and Ian Gouldstone do: They design and manufacture custom, private-label, promotional products for businesses. Gouldstone estimated that will be 75 percent of what they do in the new business, which opened its store July […] Read the full article: https://is.gd/WJLr5B

(Mediation successful as D51, teachers agree on terms) - Step Increases will be suspended, but one-time payouts are approved Brandon Leuallen, The Business Times After months of tension and a breakdown in contract negotiations, School District 51 and the Mesa Valley Education Association reached an agreement through mediation, putting an end to this year’s impasse and avoiding the uncertainty of continued deadlock. The mediated agreement, finalized July 14, now awaits ratification by the union membership and final approval from the school board. According to an email sent from [email protected] to staff members, a notable change is the suspension of vertical step increases for the 2025-26 school year in favor […] Read the full article: https://is.gd/oLfVGY

(Seafood for Surf, and ‘beef festival’ for Turf) - New restaurant Surf to Turf serves sushi, Korean BBQ, hotpot Tim Harty, The Business Times A lot of Grand Junction residents will walk into Surf to Turf, 1100 Independent Ave., knowing the new restaurant resides in the building that was the longtime home to Golden Corral Buffet & Grill. But former Golden Corral patrons won’t recognize a thing. Not one thing. That’s because a renovation, which Surf and Turf’s owners thought might be considerably easier with a restaurant as the previous occupant, proved to be unfathomably more difficult. “The condition of the building was really bad,” said Surf to Turf […] Read the full article: https://is.gd/JP2YNF

(The Auction Team gets needed space) - Tim Harty, The Business Times Six offices instead of one. Seven acres instead of one. Three more employees. The Auction Team is growing, which is why in May it moved into a larger building (3,327 square feet) with more land at 1896 U.S. Highway 6&50. Previously it resided in a 585-square-foot building at 2912 Hill Ave. “We’ve just been able to expand our operations throughout the Western Slope, and we needed a bigger home branch,” said Greg Medvesk, owner of The Auction Team. In particular, the auto auctions are on the rise, as Medvesk said, “Through the 12 years that […] Read the full article: https://is.gd/pz0zym

(City manager recommendation: Don’t buy zip line) - Brandon Leuallen, The Business Times With nearly $1.7 million in taxpayer-funded incentives already funneled into the broader agreement between the City of Grand Junction and Bonsai Design – and zero operation of the zip line since mid-2024 – the city faces a pivotal choice. The original agreement explicitly grants the city the option to purchase the zip-line infrastructure at market value if operations cease for more than a year. In response to questions raised in The Business Times article “Owner of Zip Line Got $1.7M in Incentives — and the Taxpayers Got Zip,” Grand Junction City Manager Mike Bennett made […] Read the full article: https://is.gd/tZF8uC

(City declines climate grant desired by Urban Trails) - Brandon Leuallen, The Business Times Despite support from the Urban Trails Committee, the City of Grand Junction confirmed it is not pursuing a state-run climate grant that could have required new local policies, including a potential “vehicle climate fee.” At its July 9 meeting, the Urban Trails Committee, chaired by City of Grand Junction Mobility Coordinator Henry Brown, listed “support for Local IMPACT Accelerators grant” as its No. 1 action item.

(The Union isn’t fighting for kids anymore – It’s fighting for control) - Contracts. Impasse. Mediation. Oh my! We’ve all seen the headlines, the crowd of red shirts and the talking points about “fighting for teachers and students.” But as a teacher – and a former union member – I’m here to tell you: What’s happening with the Mesa Valley Education Association isn’t about students. It’s political theater, and it’s about control. Let’s start with a bit of history. Teacher unions were initially formed to give educators a voice in working conditions. In the early 20th century, teachers – primarily women – were underpaid, lacked job security and had no influence in how […] Read the full article: https://is.gd/2VKE0Z

(Zip-a-Dee-Doo NAH, there’s nothing to see here) - Yes, our story last week about the failed zip line across the Colorado River, landing folks at Los Colonias Park and built by Bonsai, sure has caused a flood of conversation. And just like a flood that our fair city is praying against on its multi-million-dollar boondoggle “down by the river,” avoiding this waterboarding had to be part of those prayers as well. Then again, given Grand Junction’s forays into the development business, this kind of flood is more of an annual event instead every 100 years. Or are we not allowed to say the words COSTCO, Homeward Bound or […] Read the full article: https://is.gd/ad65tG
