Courtney King Studios recently awarded a USDA Renewable Energy Grant! This competitive federal grant called Rural Energy for America Program will help to pay for geothermal heating systems at 280 Pagosa Street, including for radiant retro fits for the existing building and radiant in-floor heating in the new construction.

Courtney King Studios is expanding, adding about 1,100 sf of office to our existing commercial building at 280 Pagosa Street, in downtown Pagosa Springs! Our existing back office is still open for business. Please excuse the mess during this transformation and access our business from the alley. Parking is available on Lewis Street, and our east side porch door is still accessible, as is the yoga studio east porch door.

They want to train the tomatoes to grow in the right direction inside this greenhouse all year long.
