Tariff talk: A local banker’s economic overview
Last week, the Estes Valley Voice hosted a panel discussion on what recently imposed tariffs might mean for local retailers and other businesses in the Estes Valley as we head into the high summer visitor season. Scott Applegate, the president and CEO of the Band of Estes Park, was one of the panel members. Saying that he has literally seen "fire and rain" as a local banker in the Estes Valley, Applegate provided a tip sheet with some guidance about navigating what could be some more volatility in the market over the next few months.
