A multi-million dollar project from private and public funds is focusing on revitalizing a section of Trinidad’s Main Street.

The ‘Space to Create’ is the 1st of 9 projects in Colorado. Through a state-funded program aimed at bringing creative work spaces and affordable housing to rural Colorado, Trinidad is leading the charge.

In 2015, the state announced the program would begin in Southern Colorado.

Among the funding partners: Corazón de Trinidad Creative District, City of Trinidad, Space to Create, Boettcher Foundation, History Colorado, Colorado Creative Industries, Colorado Department of Local Affairs, Colorado Housing Finance Authority, and the Gates Family Foundation.
