About the Cortez Current

Cortez Current is a local news site for Cortez and Montezuma County, Colorado.

We cover four beats:

• Council & Government — what City Council and the county decide, and why it matters.
• Community & Events — where to go, what to do, and the people making a difference.
• Public Safety & Weather — roads, weather and emergency news.
• Real Estate & Development — permits, zoning and how Cortez is growing.

Our goal is simple: plain-language reporting, with links to the documents and sources behind every story so you can check our work.
