Good morning, Colorado Springs.

Atrevida Beer Co. closed its doors today after years of serving Colorado Springs residents.

The local business said goodbye as market challenges led its owners to end operations.

Cybersecurity firm Apogee Engineering moved into its new 34,000 sqft headquarters at 9910 Federal Drive in Colorado Springs, providing office and training space for 600 employees.

Two weeks later, it secured a $103 million DoD contract to modernize GPS satellites — a shift that boosts local innovation.

More than 23,000 acres burned Monday as wildfires forced evacuations from towns including Rye and Beulah in Pueblo and Custer counties - residents waited for word on their homes while officials managed safety measures.

The Colorado Springs Fire Department issued a burn ban on Monday at noon due to dangerous fire conditions fueled by high temperatures and low moisture.

The ban prohibits outdoor cooking, fires, smoking in parks, and hot work activities to lower wildfire risk.

Mayor Yemi Mobolade is seeking applicants for two vacancies on the Colorado Springs Health Foundation Board (candidates with expertise in investment management, public health, or older adult care from El Paso and Teller counties are encouraged to apply).

Applications are due by Wednesday, July 15 at 5 p.m.

Remount Foundation held an equine therapy session on Academy grounds where participants groomed and rode horses to gain emotional benefits (such as easing anxiety and PTSD).

Veteran Jim Stover said the session made a positive impact on his mood.

Gillian once took 16 medications but now finds relief riding Frankie at Remount Foundation (she says the rides help her feel better), and Annie Saurbaugh said the program also helps female vets.
