Always a creative way to reinvent a town

Colfax has more to offer than a cup of coffee on the way up to the mountains. That’s part of the message behind a new branding campaign designed to bring visitors to the historic city.

Colfax is going through rapid development, according to City Manager Wes Heathcock. It currently has a 69-room Best Western hotel under construction, and a new 8.4-acre commercial center with another hotel in the planning stages. Two new residential developments are also in the planning stages, which will add 74 new single-family homes. A 100-site RV park is in the works, too.

“This is growth and development this community hasn’t seen in 30 years,” Heathcock said.

He said now is the time to try to capture more tourists and tourism dollars for the city, which is home to about 2,000 residents.
