JCPenney closure is community’s loss
It was reported in Saturday’s Denver Post that J.C. Penney is closing its Glenwood Springs store in June. This letter is an open appeal to community members and leaders to contact J.C. Penney to ask that every effort be made to keep the store open.

Penney’s departure would be a profound community loss. We must convince them to keep this vital community resource open.
