Xcel Energy is the Logan County Chamber of Commerce Business of the Week. Receiving the honor from Glenna Phelps- Aurich Executive Director of Logan County Chamber were Arlyn Parker Area Manager (not pictured) and Lucas McConnell Area Manager.
.....The Denver Gas Company was created in 1869. It was started by being investor-owned by William N. Byers, Col. James Archer, Louis Bartels, Walter Scott Cheesman, John Evans, David Moffat, Lewis N. Tappan and D. Tom Smith. The company initially provided gas for lighting.
.....In 1881, Colorado Electric Company offered electric power. The two companies merged in 1899 to become the Denver Gas & Electric Company (DG&E), headed by Henry Doherty. In 1923, DG&E and Western Power & Light merged to form Public Service Co. of Colorado (PSCo). Doherty’s utility empire continued to expand and would eventually encompass 225 utilities in 26 states.
.....The Colorado Power Co. and its subsidiary Cheyenne Light, Fuel & Power in Wyoming came under the Public Service Co. of Colorado name on Sept. 3, 1924.
.....PSCo became an independent and autonomous operation in November 1943 when it served 80 percent of Colorado’s gas and electricity needs. As demand for energy continued to grow, so did PSCo. Eventually the company merged with Southwestern Public Service Co. (SPS), based in Amarillo, Texas, to form New Century Energies (NCE).
.....They are a regulated utility providing gas and electric service to homes in eight states for over 3.3 million customers and 1.8 million natural gas customers.
.....Pawnee Power Plant is a major asset to the Xcel system in both Northern Colorado and statewide as it sends electricity both locally and into the Metro region. Smaller service centers in the Sterling and Brush areas are where the ubiquitous bucket trucks come from to complete local work and repairs.
.....Xcel Energy Area Manager Lucas McConnell can be reached at lucas.a.mcconnell@xcelenergy.com, (970) 521-1800 or xcelenergy.com.
Please join the Logan County Chamber of Commerce in congratulating
Xcel Energy

What The Business Community Needs
There’s a rising sense of optimism in our country today. A growing belief that the long, dark stretch of the pandemic is nearly behind us, and brighter days lie ahead. Our country is finally getting back to health and back to strength. President Biden highlighted how his administration has contributed to these positive developments as he marked his first 100 days in office later this week. It’s a good opportunity to celebrate how much our nation has achieved in the 400+ days since the WHO declared the global pandemic.

Proposed Corporate Tax Rate Harmful
Congress is considering raising the corporate income tax rate from 21% to 28%. Many assume that only big businesses will pay this higher rate. That couldn’t be farther from the truth. In fact, over a million small businesses—those “Mom-and-Pop” retailers, small manufacturers, and professional services firms that often suffered the worst during the pandemic—would also see their tax bills increase significantly. In turn, this would have a negative impact on small businesses’ investment and growth plans and, most critically, hiring and job creation. . . . . .. . . . . . .. . . . . . .. . . . . . .. .. .

Housing and Utilities Assistance
During this year’s special session, we collaborated with bipartisan legislators in the General Assembly to allocate an additional $54 million in housing assistance through the Department of Local Affairs (DOLA). For more information on DOLA’s housing programs and to access support for your rent or mortgage, visit their website. We also allocated $5 million to Energy Outreach Colorado to help Coloradans with utility assistance. Visit their website for more information on how to access those funds. You can also find more information on other programs serving our state, such as County Housing Authorities, the Colorado Low Income Energy Assistance, and more.
Food Assistance
During this pandemic, 1 in 3 Coloradans aren’t sure where their next meal is coming from. I’m proud that during the special session earlier this year we awarded $5 million to the Food Pantry Assistance Program in the Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS). If you’re experiencing food insecurity, learn more about food assistance programs from the CDHS, Food Bank of the Rockies, and others serving the people of Colorado. Organizations looking to help their communities address hunger and food access issues, can apply for assistance with the Emergency Hunger Relief Fund
