SOUTHERN COLORADO ~ In Southern Colorado, Governor Jared Polis held a gathering with small business owners, insurance experts, and healthcare leaders to emphasize the importance of Congress renewing the Enhanced Premium Tax Credits. If not renewed by September 30th, this could result in significant premium increases for all Americans.
During his visit to Southern Colorado, Governor Polis also took the opportunity to tour the Orman Mansion in Pueblo. This historic home was once the residence of James B. Orman, Colorado's 12th Governor. Built in 1890 with Manitou Red Sandstone, the mansion served as the Governor's Residence during Orman's term from 1901-1903.
Expressing his excitement about visiting the Orman Mansion, Governor Polis stated that every part of Colorado has a unique story and with the state approaching its historic sesquicentennial or 150th birthday, it is an ideal time to learn more about its history.

Continuing his visit in Southern Colorado, Governor Polis made a stop at Walsenburg Mercantile, a recipient of the 2026 Stephen Hart Award. This award recognizes buildings that have been renovated while preserving their historical significance and contributing to economic growth. The Walsenburg Mercantile building was transformed into seven long-term housing units, eight short-term housing units, and a vendor space for 80 local vendors.
Governor Polis praised Walsenburg Mercantile for its efforts in preserving Colorado's architectural history while also stimulating investment and addressing community needs. He highlighted how this conversion has brought new life to a previously vacant building and created 15 new homes for Colorado families. The addition of a gathering space for businesses, visitors, and families has also helped strengthen the local economy.
The Walsenburg Mercantile is one of five renovations being honored with the Governor's Choice 2026 Stephen Hart Award and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Governor Polis concluded by congratulating Walsenburg Mercantile on its well-deserved recognition as a 2026 Stephen Hart Award winner and commended their efforts in preserving Colorado's rich history while driving economic growth.
