Allison A. recently posted this editorial observation of the tourist industry in Moab, Utah and some of the similarities she sees between Moab and Buena Vista. She writes:

“There has been so much talk and thought lately in the Buena Vista community about “smart growth” with regards to the potential of incoming permanent and semi-permanent residents, but what has been thought of with regards to the oncoming tourist industry? Almost without exception I get the impression that tourists coming in to our community is a good thing. I have always agreed with that outlook for the most part and still do. But now, after seeing how the heart of Main Street Moab has been overrun by tourists and how in some ways I think Moab has welcomed its tourist industry without enough forethought, I have to wonder what may end up happening in BV if we don’t more actively consider this issue.”
