Coverage on this page runs across Colorado Springs city hall and the El Paso County commission, Colorado Springs School District 11, Academy School District 20 and Harrison School District 2, and the military, defense and health care employers that anchor the local economy. From Broadmoor and Old Colorado City to Ivywild, Knob Hill and Old North End, neighborhood reporting extends through the city and into Teller County where a story crosses the line. The concentration of military installations—including the Air Force Academy, Fort Carson and Space Force headquarters—makes defense spending, base operations and military family services among the most consequential recurring subjects in local economic and government coverage. Water rights and the long-term management of the region's water supply from the Arkansas and South Platte river basins are the structural infrastructure subjects that run beneath most of the city's major planning decisions.
