Pagosa Springs, renowned for its stunning landscapes and geothermal hot springs, is also making significant strides in technological advancements to support its residents and businesses.
Enhanced Connectivity with Visionary Broadband
In October 2025, Visionary Broadband expanded its high-speed fiber internet services to over 1,000 homes and businesses in Pagosa Springs, including remote areas between Lake Pagosa and Lake Hatcher. This development offers residents up to 5-Gigabit speeds, facilitating faster downloads and more reliable online experiences. The project was supported by the federal Capital Projects Fund through the state’s Advance Colorado program, with Visionary contributing matching funds to ensure completion. CEO Brian Worthen highlighted the challenges of the region’s rocky terrain and expressed pride in the team’s accomplishments.
VOORMI’s Strategic Relocation
VOORMI, a leader in outdoor gear, opened a new retail location at the Pagosa Hot Springs Resort in November 2025. This move enhances customer accessibility and aligns with the resort’s commitment to Pagosa’s growth. The new location allows customers to gear up for mountain adventures and immediately test their equipment in the surrounding San Juan wilderness.
Geothermal Energy Utilization
Pagosa Springs has a longstanding history of utilizing geothermal energy. The town’s 48-year-old geothermal heating system serves 33 customers, including private and commercial entities. This system exemplifies the potential of geothermal energy in supporting sustainable community infrastructure.
Infrastructure Investments
In January 2026, the town invested $7.7 million to enhance infrastructure along US Highway 160. These improvements focus on pedestrian access, modern lighting, improved drainage, fire protection, and critical utility reliability, ensuring that Main Street and adjacent corridors serve residents, businesses, and visitors for decades to come.
These initiatives reflect Pagosa Springs’ commitment to integrating technology and infrastructure improvements, enhancing the quality of life for its residents while preserving the town’s natural charm.
