About Pueblo Connect – Pueblo Connect

Our Mission

Pueblo Connect and The Daily Pueblo work together to keep our neighborhoods informed, connected, and engaged. The Daily Pueblo brings local stories and community voices to readers in print, while Pueblo Connect gives residents and local businesses a place to connect, share, discover events, support neighborhood businesses, and continue the conversation online. Together, we connect the Pueblo—in print, online, and in the community.

What is Pueblo Connect?

Pueblo Connect is the digital town square for our community: one local platform made of connected programs. Each does a different job, but they all push toward the same goal — discover the community, interact with it, and spend locally.

Residents create a profile, follow people and businesses, discover local news, communicate, see events, find deals and reach every other Pueblo program. Membership for residents is free, because the bigger the community grows, the more valuable it becomes for everyone in it.
