CBT asks Golden where their priorities lay Joseph Indigo coming to town for show ..................................21
Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net The Columbia Basin Trust kicked off a year long engagement process in Golden last week with their first open house. The day-long event included a chance to browse the information, talk face-to-face with CBT staff and board members, speak at

There were also whiteboards around the room where attendees could provide their ideas, wants, and needs. All the information gathered at the event will be noted for future discussion. The hosts also posed a question to the
