  • Delivering Longmont’s Plans

    By Alex Kalkhofer, Candidate for Longmont City Council At-Large

    Longmont has worked to incorporate two great roadmaps for our future. The first one, Envision Longmont charts our path toward livable neighborhoods and sustainable growth. The second one, Advance Longmont 2.0, targets high-wage industries poised to strengthen our economy. These aren’t only aspirational documents, they’re blueprints shaped by thousands of community voices and grounded in data. The question isn’t whether our plans are good. It’s whether we’ll actually update and deliver on them.

    While Envision Longmont laid the groundwork, it has not kept pace with changes in the national economy and changes in our city’s dynamics. The plan said it needs to be updated over time, which it has not; it is time to update Envision Longmont to reflect today’s realities and ensure our plans remain relevant and actionable. We also need to put in rough cost estimates to execute the plan.

    As your next city council member, I’m committed to turning these strategies into results. I will focus my actions on the challenges holding us back: housing our workforce can afford (the people who power Longmont should be able to live in Longmont), transportation that connects people to jobs and services and a business environment that enables our targeted industries to thrive.

    Taking a Pause on Development
    Given the number of recent apartment developments, I believe we need to pause and carefully evaluate their impacts before moving forward with more. This is challenging to do as not all projects come before Planning and Zoning or City Council if they are in alignment with the code. We must ensure that our neighborhoods maintain their character and vitality of the people who moved here already. We should work to thoughtfully integrate duplexes, townhomes, and small-lot single-family homes also known as “missing middle housing” to provide more ownership opportunities while preserving the character of our existing neighborhoods.

    Economic Development: Revitalizing Commercial Spaces
    One of the lowest-hanging fruit opportunities for Longmont’s growth is filling our vacant retail spaces. This currently detracts from our vibrant neighborhood centers and weakens our economic foundation. Our broader aspiration is the full commercial revitalization of the Sugar Mill development, which can serve as a key catalyst to attract new businesses and activate this important gateway area. While we excel in attracting high-wage industries, our commercial real estate market has to better accommodate their needs, especially smaller, flexible, and modern workspaces.

    I will advocate for revitalizing vacant properties through adaptive reuse to support our target industries and small businesses, and for streamlining development approvals to quickly bring needed commercial spaces online. As I have said before, I want to stand up a permit liaison to help the business navigate and expedite the permitting process. This effort is critical to sustaining local job growth and maintaining the character and vitality of Longmont’s commercial districts. So much of our budget is reliant on sales tax revenue, we have to increase our business Community.

    Housing: More For-Sale Homes, Fewer Rental Apartments
    Longmont’s housing market today is heavily weighted toward rental apartments, while the supply of affordable for-sale homes is critically lacking. This imbalance pushes many families out of Longmont or into long commutes. We need to shift the focus toward creating more for-sale “missing-middle” housing options (duplexes, townhomes, and small-lot single-family homes) that provide long-term stability and equity building for working families; this is the foundation of the “American Dream”.

    These “missing-middle” housing types provide inventory suitable for teachers, nurses, senior care providers and other local workers who earn too much to qualify for subsidized housing but can’t afford today’s high home prices. The current affordable housing requirement creates a cliff effect where families earning just above the income limit are blocked from these opportunities while also being priced out of market-rate housing. Rather than increasing the affordable housing mandate from 12% to 15%, which merely shifts the burden onto market-rate buyers and enlarges costs through inefficiencies, we should focus on driving down overall housing costs through smarter development of starter homes and smaller housing options. This approach creates true affordability for working families without restricting access.

    While rental housing plays an important role, too many rental units and not enough ownership opportunities limit community investment and prevent people from establishing roots. I will work to prioritize zoning and incentives that encourage missing middle for-sale housing near jobs and transit corridors, innovative homeownership models for families earning 80–120% of area median income and policies balancing rental development with quality for-sale housing.

    Transparency and Community Balance
    I believe in transparency about my civic involvement. While I attended three Launch Longmont meetings about 10 months ago to understand their mission, I have not been actively involved since. My stance on growth are different from those of Launch. I have supported various community initiatives, including contributing to conservation easement efforts like the Kanemoto project, because I believe in balancing thoughtful growth with preservation of our community character and open spaces. I also appreciate organizations that activate the community to get involved.

    On energy policy, while I support environmental stewardship, we must ensure that the costs of achieving Net Zero 2030 are not passed onto residents who are already struggling with affordability. Energy upgrades and climate initiatives must be pursued through fiscally responsible means that don’t create additional financial burdens on working citizens.

    Transportation: Connecting People to Opportunity and Safety
    A complete transportation system isn’t just about moving cars. It’s about giving every resident safe, reliable options to reach jobs, schools, healthcare, and services. Envision Longmont envisions a balanced multimodal network. Delivering it means filling gaps in our bicycle, pedestrian, and transit infrastructure now, not later. This does not force anyone out of their car, it provides reliable options for people to choose to get out of their car if that is right for them.

    I am committed to fully implementing Longmont’s Transportation Safety Plan (formerly Vision Zero), ensuring we reduce serious crashes, injuries and fatalities on all our streets.

    I’ll push for completion of missing sidewalk and bike lane links, especially connecting residential neighborhoods to employment centers and schools, enhance transit frequency and routing aligned with employer shifts and first-and-last-mile solutions that make commuting practical without a car. We will get our RTD service returned and we will hold them accountable for the money they have from us for the commuter rail. I will not allow RTD to use the FIFA account for anything other than what we voted for.

    From Plans to Progress
    Envision Longmont and Advance Longmont 2.0 reflect our shared values and data-driven understanding of where Longmont must go. Now we need leaders who will execute with accountability, prioritizing delivery of real-world outcomes over endless deliberation.

    My 15 years managing complex logistics and supply chains, combined with leadership on local boards, give me the skills to turn plans into action.

    Longmont needs fine tuning of our vision. We need accountability, transparency, focus, and results. Let’s deliver on the plans we’ve made, for the people who have been here, the workforce that powers our economy, for the families building their futures here and for the community we all want Longmont to be.

    Vote Alex Kalkhofer for Longmont City Council At-Large.

    Let’s deliver Longmont’s plans together.

    Alex Kalkhofer is a candidate for Longmont City Council At-Large in the November 4, 2025 election. He serves as Chair of the Transportation Advisory Board and the Community Action Board, and sits on the Board of Trustees of the Longmont Elks Lodge. 

  • Endorsement Spotlight: Shiquita Yarbrough Supports Alex Kalkhofer for City Council

    I am honored to share the heartfelt endorsement of my friend, council representative, and Transportation Advisory Board liaison, Shiquita Yarbrough.

    Shiquita’s words mean the world to me, not just because of her leadership as an At-Large Representative, but because of the genuine partnership we’ve built working side by side on complex issues affecting Longmont. Her support is a testament to the collaborative values we share and the vision we both hold for Longmont’s future.

    Here’s what Shiquita had to say:

    **“I am proud to endorse Alex Kalkhofer for Longmont City Council. As a fellow member of the Transportation Advisory Board, I have seen firsthand Alex’s dedication to practical, forward-thinking solutions that benefit all Longmont residents. He brings thoughtful ideas to every discussion, always seeking ways to improve our city’s transportation systems and ensure safer, more accessible streets for everyone.

    Alex’s commitment to Longmont goes well beyond transportation. His family has called Longmont home since 2008, raising their two children here and investing deeply in our community. As Chair of the Community Action Program Board and an active advocate for affordable housing, Alex has consistently championed policies that make Longmont a more inclusive and supportive place for families of all backgrounds.

    What sets Alex apart is his genuine care for empowering women and supporting families. He understands that a strong community uplifts everyone, and he works to ensure that opportunities are accessible—especially for women and underrepresented groups. His vision for Longmont is one where growth is balanced with community needs, and where every resident feels heard and valued.

    Alex’s collaborative spirit, experience, and unwavering commitment to equity make him the right choice for City Council. I wholeheartedly support his candidacy.”*

  • My stance on growth in our community: Quail and Kanemoto 

    Let me get this out right away, I believe Longmont needs more for sale homes that everyday people can afford. However, I believe growth should happen in stair step fashion, not linearly. A stair step growth approach means building in phases, measuring what happens to safety, traffic, schools, and services. After measuring then deciding the next step based on those results, we need to see what unintended consequences are before moving to the next project. This keeps neighbor’s trust and it pairs new homes with clear protections that people can see. Clearly communicating in plain language earns broader support since it focuses on people, places, and specifics.

    My goals are simple, I want the people who power Longmont to have a fair shot to live here. That includes teachers, childcare workers, seniors (who want to downsize near family), and young adults who want to stay close to where they grew up. Favoring homes near services and transportation corridors that can handle them, and I support honoring the neighborhood’s character on the places where new developments meets established neighborhoods. Where old meets new, I want height and massing (structure) to feel familiar. No multi-story apartment next to a single family house, would be acceptable to me. 

    Kanemoto

    My stance on the Kanemoto land is firm. The property is tied to a conservation easement and there is in active litigation. I support keeping the easement in place while the courts do their work. We must keep public trust. I will not consider annexation or land use changes during that time. If the legal status changes in the future I will reopen the conversation with a conservation first framework and full public engagement, where outcomes of equal or greater value with clear stewardship funding and broad community support. Until then the right thing to do is to honor the easement and the community’s trust. .

    Quail

    In my opinion, the quail site can help with attainable supply if it follows a stair step plan that fits the neighborhood and improves transportation early. For those unfamiliar with the site, it covers about 17.3 acres. Earlier development plans discussed roughly 310 homes at around 18 units per acre. That proposal was withdrawn in February and then sent back into annexation review in June. I support a smaller and phased plan. Keep the shared edge (established neighborhoods that meets the new development) around 6 to 8 units per acre. Step to about 10 to 12 units per acre inside the site. With this development pattern the estimated total comes to about 180 to 230 homes rather than 310. I will tie each phase to a transportation study and early improvements such as safer crossings, traffic calming, bus stop lighting, and signal or turn lane adjustments. If monitoring shows speeds, delays, or crash trends are not improving, I will pause before moving to the next step. Right now the intersection at Airport and Clover Basin is a nightmare for all road users and adding more development to that area without a transportation plan is a disservice to the community.

    I will put transportation and safety first. Before each phase I will complete a corridor study and deliver near term and long term fixes. I will track speeds, intersection delay, and injury crash risk and I will publish the results. We should only advance when targets are met. I will coordinate with schools, service providers and publish capacity checks so decisions follow facts. On housing projects,  I will push for a higher share of for sale missing middle homes so families can build equity, I understand our nickname “Apartmont” is from all of the apartment developments going up. I will report the unit mix and price bands so residents can see who benefits from each step. This level of specificity is how I plan to keep trust with neighbors while we add homes where they fit.

    I want to keep Longmont a place where workers and families can live, and I also want to protect what neighbors value about their neighborhoods. A stair step plan respects both. It brings more homes online in the right places and sequences improvements so daily life gets safer and more reliable. It also sets a clear conservation stance at Kanemoto that protects promises from many years ago. This is how I stay pro housing and pro community at the same time. 

    I support more attainable homes by location and form that fit. I will build them in steps with measurable safeguards and I will publish the results before taking the next step. I will keep Kanemoto off the table during the appeal and honor the conservation easement. I will advance a smaller and phased plan at Quail with early transportation fixes and a larger share of family friendly for sale homes, aiming for about 180 to 230 homes but we need to see what this looks like in a plan, tossing numbers out is a disservice until we understand what it could look like. This is steady leadership that listens, measures, and builds a stronger Longmont one step at a time. 

  • Stronger Together Through Community

    Thursday’s Pints and Perspectives was the final session before the series turns to election topics. The conversation centered on social capital and our guests were Kirsten Pellicer, second generation owner of Longmont’s Ace Hardware, and Dr. Don Haddad former superintendent of SVVSD. Their message resonated with me. The more time and care we invest in one another, the stronger and healthier our city becomes. Volunteering and giving back are contagious. When people see their neighbors pitch in, they are more likely to join.


    Dr. Haddad shared a line that stayed with me. If the goal is to win once, set a goal. If the goal is to win again and again, build a system. That is how I think about service. Longmont needs systems that make collaboration the default. Residents, schools, businesses, nonprofits, and city departments should be able to find one another easily, share information and solve problems quickly. That requires clear points of contact, simple processes, and a culture that rewards teamwork.


    This is what that looks like in practice. Bring everyone to the table. No single group has all the answers. Listen to renters and homeowners, students and seniors, small business owners and workers and people with different political views. Make city help easier to use. Align departments so residents and businesses can reach a real person, receive clear steps, and move forward without avoidable delays. Keep Longmont moving. Build safer crossings, calm fast streets, improve wayfinding, and make transit and first and last mile connections more reliable so everyday trips feel easier. Keep families here. Expand attainable and for sale options such as duplexes, townhomes, and tiny homes that give kids stability and help working households put down roots.


    A question from the evening asked whether leaders should be the trunk of the tree or the leaves. The trunk is steady and anchored. That is the model embraced here. Positions do not change with the audience. Residents deserve consistency and plain talk, not words that shift with the wind. Count on hearing the same message in every room.


    It has been a privilege to learn alongside this community through the series. Many candidates have rotated through, and a few have been steady faces from one session to the next. My promise going forward is simple. Keep showing up. Listen more than talk, since we have two ears and one mouth for a reason. Keep building the social capital that makes Longmont stronger. If this vision reflects where Longmont should go next, please donate to this campaign to help me win this election.

  • Chi Kapé: Comodidad caribeña y centroamericana en el corazón de Longmont

    Chi Kapé es el tipo de pequeño negocio con un toque de corazón que define lo que hace único a Longmont. Ubicado justo detrás del 7-Eleven en Main y la calle 17, la nueva dirección del café (1680 Main St., Longmont) recibe a los comensales con calidez, color y el aroma de un espresso recién hecho.


    Lo primero que destaca es la historia. La propietaria, Esly, pone su herencia y corazón en todo lo que hace aquí, trayendo la comida caribeña y centroamericana a Colorado con esmero y dedicación. Ese espíritu se refleja en los detalles: un café cubano suave y sedoso con un dulzor y una intensidad equilibrados; un clásico sándwich cubano con capas de cerdo asado a fuego lento, jamón, queso suizo y un toque ácido de pepinillos con mostaza; y el Wa'iim Bowl, una combinación irresistible que ofrece una deliciosa satisfacción y un sabor a tierra para quienes extrañan los sabores isleños y centroamericanos.


    La calidad es más que una promesa, es una práctica. Se puede apreciar la excelencia de Esly en la intensidad del espresso, la ternura del cerdo y los ingredientes frescos que realzan cada plato. La experiencia me conmovió; entre la comida y la experiencia de Esly, el almuerzo se convirtió en un momento de conexión.


    Más allá del menú, Chi Kapé también funciona como un pequeño mercado de regalos únicos y especiales. Artículos artesanales, granos de café y productos que reflejan las raíces del café y sus lazos comunitarios. Es la parada perfecta cuando se necesita un regalo único y con significado.


    Si la pregunta es dónde encontrar auténticos y reconfortantes sabores caribeños y centroamericanos en Longmont, Chi Kapé es la respuesta. Es una joya local construida con maestría, historia y amor por esta comunidad.


    • Dirección: 1680 Main St., Longmont, CO (detrás del 7-Eleven en Main y 17th)
    • Qué probar: Café cubano, sándwich cubano, Wa'iim Bowl

  • Reflexiones desde Left Hand Pints ​​& Perspectives: ¡Sigamos conversando!


    He tenido el placer de asistir a todos los eventos de Left Hand Pints ​​& Perspectives (me perderé el primero el 7 de agosto), y cada sesión me deja aún más agradecido por la comunidad apasionada y reflexiva que tenemos aquí en Longmont. Nuestra charla más reciente no fue la excepción, atrayendo a nuevas personas y generando una animada conversación sobre los desafíos y las oportunidades que configuran el futuro de nuestra ciudad.

    Resumen del último debate
    El tema de este mes se centró en el crecimiento, y más específicamente, en el desequilibrio laboral en Longmont. Gracias a los excelentes ponentes y a las sinceras aportaciones del público, surgieron varios puntos clave:
    • La vivienda está superando la creación de empleo: El rápido crecimiento de la vivienda en Longmont significa que más residentes consideran nuestra ciudad su hogar, pero las oportunidades de empleo locales no se han mantenido al mismo ritmo. Como resultado, más personas se desplazan fuera de la ciudad para trabajar, lo que afecta tanto a la economía local como a la calidad de vida.
    • Persisten las preocupaciones sobre la asequibilidad: Con las bajas tasas de desocupación y la escasez de viviendas para principiantes y personas mayores, encontrar opciones asequibles sigue siendo un gran desafío tanto para las familias como para los residentes de larga data.
    • La voz de la comunidad importa: Una cosa está clara: las perspectivas diversas son esenciales a medida que trabajamos por un crecimiento equilibrado y sostenible que mantenga a Longmont vibrante para todos.


    Lo que más me impresionó fue la energía que se respiraba en la sala y el respeto que todos mostraron por las ideas de sus vecinos. Ya seas candidato, residente de toda la vida o recién llegado a la ciudad, estas conversaciones honestas son la clave para que avancemos juntos.

    Mi compromiso con ustedes
    Siempre que participe, ya sea como presidente de la junta, miembro del consejo o simplemente como vecino, les prometo: siempre estaré presente, comprometido y atento. Nuestra ciudad merece líderes que dediquen toda su atención a los problemas y a ustedes, los habitantes de Longmont.


    Únete a nosotros en la próxima reunión de Pintas y Perspectivas
    Si aún no has asistido a una reunión de Pintas y Perspectivas, ¡te animo a que la visites! Es un espacio relajado y acogedor para conocer a vecinos, aprender de expertos de la comunidad y compartir tu opinión sobre los grandes problemas que enfrenta Longmont. Tus aportaciones realmente hacen que estas reuniones sean significativas.
    Centrémonos en lo que importa: en nosotros mismos y en construir un Longmont fuerte para todos.


    ¡Espero verte en la próxima discusión!

  • Celebrando el Día de la Tierra: Empoderando a Longmont con soluciones ambientales asequibles e impulsadas por la comunidad

    Hoy, al celebrar el Día de la Tierra, reafirmamos nuestro compromiso de proteger el medio ambiente para las generaciones futuras. Longmont, con sus vibrantes parques y belleza natural, es una comunidad que valora la sostenibilidad. Sin embargo, debemos asegurarnos de que nuestra búsqueda de la gestión ambiental sea una opción asequible y accesible para todos los residentes.


    En Longmont, necesitamos desarrollar opciones ambientales que no solo sean efectivas, sino también económicas y atractivas para todos los miembros de nuestra comunidad. Esto implica apoyar iniciativas que ofrezcan una gama de opciones sostenibles, permitiendo que las personas y familias elijan las que mejor se adapten a sus necesidades y presupuestos. De esta manera, fomentamos un enfoque orientado al mercado que fomenta la innovación y la eficiencia.


    Creemos en empoderar a nuestra comunidad ofreciendo diversas soluciones, desde opciones de energía renovable hasta sistemas de transporte sostenibles. En lugar de imponer enfoques universales, dejamos que el mercado y los miembros de la comunidad decidan qué funciona mejor para ellos. Este enfoque promueve la elección personal, reduce costos innecesarios y garantiza que las soluciones se adapten a las necesidades locales.

    Áreas clave de enfoque:
    1. Diversas opciones de energía renovable: Apoyamos programas que hacen que las fuentes de energía renovable sean más accesibles y económicamente viables para los propietarios de viviendas y las empresas, al tiempo que alentamos la innovación del sector privado en esta área.

    2. Opciones de transporte sostenible: Mejorar el transporte público y la infraestructura ciclista es crucial, pero debemos garantizar que estos sistemas estén disponibles y sean asequibles para todos. También alentamos a las empresas privadas a desarrollar opciones de transporte más sostenibles que satisfagan las necesidades locales y reduzcan los costos del transporte.

    3. Espacios verdes inclusivos: Nuestros parques y espacios verdes deben seguir siendo accesibles para todos, lo que refleja nuestro compromiso con proyectos ambientales liderados por la comunidad que involucran a diferentes partes de nuestra sociedad.

    4. Iniciativas lideradas por la comunidad: Apoyar proyectos ambientales de base que involucren y beneficien a todas las partes de nuestra comunidad puede fomentar un sentido de propiedad y responsabilidad.

    Por qué es importante
    • Eficiencia económica: Al promover una variedad de opciones sustentables, fomentamos la innovación y reducimos costos, lo que en última instancia beneficia a las empresas y los residentes locales.

    • Elección personal: Creemos en empoderar a las personas y familias para que tomen sus propias decisiones ambientales, alineadas con sus valores y presupuestos.

    • Participación de la comunidad: involucrar a la comunidad en la toma de decisiones fortalece nuestro compromiso colectivo de preservar la belleza natural de Longmont.

    Mientras celebramos el Día de la Tierra, trabajemos juntos para crear un Longmont donde cada residente tenga acceso a opciones de vida sustentables, porque un Longmont fuerte y sustentable es un Longmont fuerte para todos.

    Únase a la conversación
    Comparta con nosotros sus ideas para hacer que las soluciones ambientales sean más accesibles y efectivas en Longmont.

  • Reflexiones sobre la vida urbana: Lecciones de viajes recientes

    Al reflexionar sobre mis dos viajes de la última semana y media, he renovado mi aprecio por nuestra gran ciudad de Longmont. Sin embargo, también he observado características en otras ciudades que podrían enriquecer nuestra comunidad. Estas observaciones me han inspirado ideas sobre cómo podemos seguir mejorando Longmont para las generaciones actuales y futuras.

    Características urbanas con encanto
    En mis viajes me encontré con:
    • Mercados de barrio y bodegas
    • Cafeterías y pintorescos restaurantes integrados dentro de áreas residenciales.
    • Calles vibrantes que recuerdan a una Main Street más pequeña de Longmont
    • Tipos de vivienda mixtos en barrios establecidos, fomentando un sentido de comunidad


    Estos elementos crearon barrios animados y transitables donde la gente se congregaba y florecía el espíritu comunitario. Lo que me impresionó fue la armoniosa convivencia entre peatones, ciclistas y conductores, quienes compartían el espacio cómodamente. Este enfoque multimodal del transporte creó un entorno urbano dinámico e inclusivo. Si bien nuestra ciudad destaca en muchas áreas, incorporar algunas de estas características podría mejorar aún más la habitabilidad y el encanto de Longmont.

    Responsabilidad fiscal: de lo personal a lo político
    Durante nuestros viajes, mi familia y yo mantuvimos nuestro enfoque frugal, gastando sabiamente en experiencias significativas y ahorrando cuando era posible.

    Esta filosofía se extiende a cómo pretendo gestionar las contribuciones a las campañas:
    • Utilizar las donaciones de forma juiciosa, centrándose en iniciativas de alto impacto.
    • Maximizar el valor de cada dólar a través de un gasto eficiente
    • Complementar los recursos financieros con esfuerzo dedicado y “capital propio”
    Su dinero duramente ganado merece ser tratado con respeto, y me comprometo a utilizar los fondos de campaña de manera responsable para difundir nuestro mensaje de manera eficaz.

    Cómo puedes ayudar
    Para apoyar nuestra visión de un Longmont más fuerte, puede:
    1. Contribuir a la campaña para financiar materiales de divulgación esenciales.
    2. Organizar reuniones comunitarias donde pueda escuchar sus inquietudes e ideas.
    3. Comparta sus ideas sobre lo que hace que Longmont sea excelente y las áreas de mejora.

    Juntos, podemos aprovechar las fortalezas de Longmont y abordar sus desafíos, garantizando un futuro próspero para todos los residentes. Su apoyo, ya sea mediante donaciones, voluntariado o participación comunitaria, es crucial en nuestro esfuerzo por crear un Longmont fuerte para todos.

  • Joya local: Pelo's Deli & Provisions

    Ayer tuve el placer de disfrutar uno de los mejores sándwiches de pastrami que he probado en mucho tiempo en Pelo’s Deli & Provisions. Como alguien que creció en Miami Beach, encontrar un buen sándwich de pastrami en Front Range ha sido un desafío, ¡hasta ahora! Fui con mi amigo Andy y pidió un sándwich de carne de Chicago que también disfrutó mucho.

    Pastrami Sandwich from Pelo's

    También tuve la oportunidad de hablar con Kim, la propietaria, y felicitarla por crear un espacio comunitario para Longmont. Pelo's no es solo una tienda de delicatessen; es un excelente tercer lugar que abrirá hasta tarde para los residentes y visitantes de Longmont que quieran disfrutar de la ciudad después de que otros lugares cierren por la noche.

    Kim compartió lo difícil que fue el proceso de permisos municipales durante su proceso para abrir Pelo's. Como candidata al Concejo Municipal de Longmont, me comprometo a apoyar a negocios locales como Pelo's, trabajando para agilizar los trámites municipales y reducir las demoras innecesarias para los emprendedores. Estos pequeños negocios son la columna vertebral de nuestra economía local y contribuyen significativamente al carácter único de Longmont.

    Me encantó tanto Pelo's que volví más tarde con mi esposa, Emily, y mi amigo, Tony, para compartir este nuevo establecimiento. ¡Gracias, Kim, por perseverar y traer un espacio tan fantástico a Longmont!

    Es emocionante ver nuevos establecimientos como Pelo’s Deli abrir en nuestra ciudad, y animo a todos a explorar los fantásticos lugares locales que hacen que Longmont sea tan único.
