La Plata County
“As an organization we understand the cost of living in a place like Durango. Providing a livable wage helps us retain valuable employees while supporting our community. We strive to be an employer of choice in La Plata County and applaud Thrive’s efforts.”
Shaw Solar
“Durango is a special community, and it is important to us that our employees are able to live and thrive here. Having well-paid employees is one of the cornerstones of our business. Over the past few years we have been able to not only hire new employees, but retain all of the original employees to date.”
Unitarian Universalist Church
“Everyone benefits when we act in just and fair ways. Our country is blessed with resources and an economic distribution that pays workers a wage that allows them a basic standard of living is only fair. Our current economic gap and system of growing inequity is untenable and unfair.”
Adaptive Sports Association
“We firmly believe that our employees should be respected and treated fairly. Consideration of our physical location in Durango, CO should be a priority. We also feel that this will help with staff stability, happiness and long term retention.”
