Gov. Bill Ritter is scheduled to visit Montrose on Tuesday for the swearing-in of new 7^th Judicial District Judge Jeff Herron and to deliver the keynote address at the Montrose Economic Development Corp.'s 50^th anniversary dinner.

 

Ritter appointed Herron to the District Court bench last week to replace retiring Judge Dennis P. Freidrich. Herron's swearing-in is scheduled for 4:30 to 5 p.m., with the location in Montrose still to be determined.

 

Later Tuesday, Ritter will deliver the keynote speech at the Montrose Economic Development Corp.'s 50^th anniversary celebration.

 

"I'm honored to recognize the half-century of accomplishments the MEDC has achieved," Ritter said. "The organization's dedication to economic growth and business development, and its commitment to improving the area's quality of life, serve as perfect examples of how we can move Colorado forward together.

 

"It gives me great pleasure to congratulate the Montrose Economic Development Corp. for all it has accomplished in its first 50 years, and my best wishes for continued success over the next 50 years," Ritter said.

 

The celebration goes from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Montrose Pavilion, 1800 Pavilion Drive, Montrose.
