County makes offer to buy former City Market headquarters

Mesa County made an offer Monday to purchase the former City Market headquarters and warehouse in downtown Grand Junction, hoping to consolidate several departments and offices, and free up money for capital projects.

Fruita Mother Angela Scott smiles at her happy daughter, 14-month-old Addison, who was born with a congenital heart defect and was not expected to live a year. Addison is one of 40,000 babies born annually with such defects. Scott has initiated a support group that meets for the first time in March.

Little heart needs mending

At 14 months, Addison Scott sputters and coos, opening her mouth and eyes wide to giggle when her mother tickles her. The happy baby who can say “momma,” “dadda” and “baby” only recently began sitting up by herself. While these milestones are expected of infants at younger ages, Addison’s mother, Angela Scott, exhales a sigh of relief just because her child is alive. Born with half a heart, little Addison was never expected to live a year.
