~ Crestone Today ~Crestone has a dedicated and energetic group of elected Trustees. Our many involved citizens volunteer on the Planning Commission, Volunteer Fire Department, community charities, and other projects. Our municipal government is revitalizing the town in this decade to serve its growing population and commercial activity. Developments include installing municipal water and sewer systems, remodeling the one-room Town Hall, improving storm drainage, parks, streets, and developing a Master Plan. This is a wonderful time to be living in Crestone. It’s also a great place to visit any time of the year, especially during these exciting annual events: |
